First, without a functioning IPCS all choices are bad. I would probably take a SYSUDUMP or SYSABEND, look at the RB chains and look at the trace table, but browsing that from SPOOL is a lot less convenient from IPCS and I don't know whether your shop is including the trace table.
Have you done anything to increase CPU or virtual storage consumption? Is there anything unusual in the log? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I have a medium-sized C++ application under development (conventional batch). I have gotten fairly used to and fairly fond of debugging S0C4's and the like with the LE CEEDUMP (which pinpoints that sort of error down to the source code file and line number). Suddenly -- and I can't quite define "suddenly" ("I didn't change anything") -- ABENDs have started instead producing a Transaction Dump, which I find much less convenient, especially since at the moment Dallas has IPCS hosed up and unusable on our machine. (If I code a SYSUDUMP DD I also get one of those, which is even less convenient for higher level language problems.) Why would LE start issuing Transaction Dumps rather than CEEDUMPs? There are no TRAP(OFF) or anything similar in the source code or in the LE runtime options. A CEEDUMP DD statement makes no difference. There is no ESTAE issued by my code. How the heck do I get LE back to a CEEDUMP, or what the heck should I be looking for? z/OS V2R4 +CEE3798I ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A DUMP FOR ABEND U4087 TO DATA SET: blah.blah.blah IGD100I 03DE ALLOCATED TO DDNAME SYS00003 DATACLAS ( ) IEA822I COMPLETE TRANSACTION DUMP WRITTEN TO blah.blah.blah +CEE3797I LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT HAS DYNAMICALLY CREATED A DUMP. +CEE0374C CONDITION=CEE3204S TOKEN=00030C84 59C3C5C5 00000000 455 WHILE RUNNING PROGRAM myprogrm AT THE TIME OF INTERRUPT PSW 078D1400 9AE4AC66 GPR 0-3 FFFFFD09 FFFFFD09 1B5D522C 1AE4ABF2 GPR 4-7 1AE4ACF0 1AE541C0 1AE541C0 1AE541D3 GPR 8-B 1B584878 00000008 1B5BD2AC 1B5E68D0 GPR C-F 1B5771D8 1B584A58 1B5F1FAD 1B584A28 Charles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
