Three positional parameters must be specified:
  • The name of the VTAM® module containing inopcode. A value of ALL indicates all modules containing inopcodes. A null value also indicates all modules containing inopcodes.
  • The inopcode within modulename to which the dump attribute is assigned. A value of ALL indicates all inopcodes within the module or modules. A null value also indicates all inopcodes within the module or modules. When specifying an InOpCode, always specify three digits by including any leading zeros.
  • The dump attribute to be assigned:
    INOPCODE=DUMPENABLE
    Enables the dump attribute for modulename and inopcode. May be abbreviated as DUMPE.
    INOPCODE=DUMPDISABLE
    Disables the dump attribute for modulename and inopcode.May be abbreviated as DUMPD.
    INOPCODE=DUMPDEFAULT
    Restores the IBM® default dump attribute for modulename and inopcode. May be abbreviated as DUMPDEF.

When modulename detects an inoperative condition, it assigns a predefined inopcode. Subsequently, if INOPDUMP is active for the resource on which the condition was detected and the dump attribute for the modulename inopcode is DUMPENABLE (and an INOPDUMP was not previously taken for the resource) an INOPDUMP is forced. The INOPCODE start option (and MODIFY command) provide more granular control of the INOPDUMP function.

Tip: The dump attribute keyword DUMPDEFAULT is provided primarily for the MODIFY INOPCODE command.

Restrictions:
  • When specifying an InOpCode for the second parameter, always specify three digits by including any leading zeros.
  • If ALL is specified for modulename, then ALL must be specified for inopcode.
