BLSADSY — Map the add symptom service parameter list

Description

BLSADSY maps the add symptom service parameter list. Use this parameter list when calling the add symptom service from within an installation-written interactive problem control system (IPCS) exit routine. The add symptom service permits exit routines to generate symptoms from stand-alone dumps, SVC dumps, and the SYSMDUMP type of ABEND dump.

See z/OS MVS IPCS Customization for information about the add symptom service. See z/OS MVS Data Areas in z/OS Internet Library at http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/ for a mapping of the BLSADSY data area.

Environment

Because BLSADSY is not an executable macro, there are no specific environment requirements.

Programming requirements

None.

Restrictions

None.

Register information

Because BLSADSY is not an executable macro, there is no need to save and restore register contents.

Performance implications

None.

Syntax

The standard form of the BLSADSY macro is written as follows:

Syntax	Description

`name`	`name`: Symbol. Begin `name` in column 1.

␢	One or more blanks must precede BLSADSY.

BLSADSY

␢	One or more blanks must follow BLSADSY.

DSECT=YES	Default: DSECT=YES
DSECT=NO

Note: Users must supply a label (name), and start it in column 1 of the BLSADSY macro. When the BLSADSY macro is processed, the label becomes the record name and the prefix to the name of each field in the record.

Parameters

The parameters are explained as follows:

DSECT=YES
DSECT=NO: An add symptom service parameter list is mapped with a DSECT (DSECT=YES) or an add symptom service parameter list is mapped, but no DSECT is generated (DSECT=NO).

Example

Code the following to map the add symptom service list, but not as a DSECT. All fields will appear with the prefix ADSY.

ADSY   BLSADSY DSECT=NO
