Exit XDUREQ

Exit XDUREQ is invoked immediately before a system or transaction dump is taken.

Exit-specific parameters
UEPTRANID
Address of the 4-byte transaction ID.
UEPUSER
Address of the 8-byte user ID.
UEPTERM
Address of the 4-byte terminal ID.
UEPPROG
Address of the 8-byte application program name, or nulls if there is no current application.
UEPDUMPC
Address of copy of the 8-byte dump code.
UEPABCDE
Address of a copy of the 8-byte Kernel error code in the format xxx/yyyy. xxx denotes the 3-digit hexadecimal MVS™ completion code (for example 0C1 or D37). If an MVS completion code is not applicable, xxx is three hyphens. The 4-digit code yyyy is a user abend code produced either by CICS® or by another product on your system. UEPABCDE is completed only for abend codes corresponding to the following dump codes:
  • AP0001
  • SR0001
  • ASRA
  • ASRB
  • ASRD

Otherwise this field contains null characters.

UEPDUMPT
Address of the 1-byte dump-type identifier, which contains one of the following values:
UEPDTRAN
A transaction dump was requested.
UEPDSYST
A system dump was requested.
Note: The dump-type identifier indicates the type of dump request that was passed to the dump domain. It does not reflect any modification that may have been made to the original request by a user entry in the dump table.
UEPXDSCP
Address of a 1-byte field indicating the current dump table DUMPSCOPE setting. It contains one of the following values:
UEPXDLOC
A system dump will be taken on the local MVS image only.
UEPXDREL
System dumps will be taken on both the local MVS image, and on related MVS images within the sysplex.

This field may be modified by the exit to update the dump table DUMPSCOPE setting.

UEPXDTXN
Address of a 1-byte field indicating the current dump table TRANDUMP setting. It contains one of the following values:
UEPXDYES
A transaction dump will be taken.
UEPXDNO
A transaction dump will not be taken.

This field may be modified by the exit to update the dump table TRANDUMP setting.

Note: This field is only valid if UEPDUMPT contains the value UEPDTRAN.
UEPXDSYS
Address of a 1-byte field indicating the current dump table SYSDUMP setting. It contains one of the following values:
UEPXDYES
A system dump will be taken.
UEPXDNO
A system dump will not be taken.

This field may be modified by the exit to update the dump table SYSDUMP setting.

UEPXDTRM
Address of a 1-byte field indicating the current dump table SHUTDOWN setting. It contains one of the following values:
UEPXDYES
The CICS system is to shutdown.
UEPXDNO
The CICS system is not to shutdown.

This field may be modified by the exit to update the dump table SHUTDOWN setting.

UEPXDMAX
Address of a 4-byte field which contains the current dump table MAXIMUM setting. This field may be modified by the exit to change the current dump table MAXIMUM setting. A change to the MAXIMUM setting will not suppress this dump request. A return code of UERCBYP may be used to suppress the current dump request.
UEPDXDCNT
Address of a 4-byte field which contains the current dump table CURRENT setting.
UEPXDTST
Address of a 16-byte field which contains the current dump table statistics for this dump code. The addressed field consists of four 4-byte fields containing binary integers:
  • Number of transaction dumps taken
  • Number of transaction dumps suppressed
  • Number of system dumps taken
  • Number of system dumps suppressed
Note: Statistics for transaction dumps are valid only if UEPDUMPT contains the value UEPDTRAN.
UEPXDDAE
Address of a 1-byte field which represents the current dump table DAEOPTION setting. It contains one of the following values:
UEPXDYES
The dump is eligible for DAE suppression.
UEPXDNO
The dump will not be suppressed by DAE.

This field may be modified by the exit to update the dump table DAEOPTION setting.

UEPDMPID
Address of a 9-character field in the format xxxx/xxxx, containing the dump identifier. The dump ID is the same as that output by the corresponding dump message.
UEPFMOD
Address of an 8-byte area containing, if the dump code is AP0001, the name of the failing module; otherwise null characters.

Note that field UEPPROG always addresses the name of the current application, regardless of where the failure occurred. UEPFMOD addresses the name of the module where the failure occurred, if known.

If the dump code is AP0001, there are three possibilities:
  1. The field addressed by UEPFMOD contains the same name as the field addressed by UEPPROG—the failure occured in application code.
  2. The field addressed by UEPFMOD contains a different name from the field addressed by UEPPROG—the failure occurred in non-application code.
  3. The field addressed by UEPFMOD contains '????????'—the failure was not in application code, but CICS was unable to determine the name of the failing module.
Return codes
UERCNORM
Continue processing.
UERCBYP
Suppress dump.
UERCPURG
Task purged during XPI call.
XPI calls
WAIT_MVS can be used only when a UEPDUMPT indicates that a transaction dump is being taken. Do not use any other calls.
