Abends

When an abend occurs during LPD processing, messages and other error-related information are sent to the MVS™ system console. If this information is insufficient to solve the problem, use the information provided in a dump. To produce a dump, code a SYSMDUMP DD or SYSABEND DD statement in the LPD cataloged procedure. If you do not do the coding before the abend occurs, code the statement after the abend, re-create the abend or wait for it to occur again. For information about analyzing dumps produced during LPD processing, see z/OS Problem Management.

It can also be helpful to obtain and analyze information from the following sources:
  • LPD trace in the SYSPRINT data set
  • Output of LPD started task
  • System log (syslog)
