Description

When SNAPCTL X'20' is on and SNAPPDLX=1, and an error or program exception occurs requiring a snap to be taken, Model 204 produces a minimal PDL snap plus Horizon storage blocks.

If your site is having Horizon-related problems but cannot afford to let your Online hang for the time required to format a full snap, you should consider using these settings. This produces sufficient documentation for a Horizon problem, but has a minimal impact on the Online freeze time.
