Since the program is written in C, SYSUDUMP really isn't the easiest place to look for info. CEEDUMP will show the regs and a traceback which is usually all that's needed. See TERMTHDACT option for how to generate a CEEDUMP. Alternatively, use SYSMDUMP and IPCS. There's a learning curve, but for

Going to to try it now but it seems logical that the system updates it ( the relative number after the dataset is unallocated ) As from what I remember in multi step job Where the GDG is explicitly allocated the GDG number gets updates only after completion of the entire job Thanks > On J

From MFT days SVC99 alloc in a JOB is not treated the same as INIT ALLOC (JCL). It has been a while since I’ve had to know this stuff and memory gets hazy. Throw in VTS and there may be nuances that I’ve not been exposed to. “Roll in” occurs when you dealloc when doing SVC99. If using TA

There was no SVC 99 in MFT. SVC 99 (very different from the one you know and love) was part of TSO, an MVT only option. And "Roll In/Roll Out" had nothing to do with GDGs; don't ask, don't tell. WRT cataloging, it depends on whether it's an SMS volume; for non-SMS, cataloging is done at dealloc

+1 !!! Look at the LE or C runtime options books and get yourself a CEEDUMP. Debugging from one is a little bit of a learning exercise of its own but FAR superior to SYSUDUMP for 9 out of 10 (or perhaps 99 out of 100) C runtime errors. You will get the exact line number of the offending source sta

> nice SYSUDUMP At least it wasn't SYSABEND! I find that large formatted dumps are awkward and that it's easier to find things with IPCS. Also, when LE and other run-time libraries use SPIE and STAE, the footprints can be easier to find in a CEEDUMP or SYSMDUMP. Gneiss is often taken for grani

Agreed! Especially if you compile with GONUM. Sometimes, you do need to dig a bit deeper. For this I use Fault Analyzer which has a fastly superior UI compared to IPCS. I only crack open IPCS when I need to format control blocks or read the systrace. On 2020-06-22 1:08 AM, Charles Mills wrote:
