Description
SDUMPOPT specifies the above the bar (ATB) storage areas which will be included when an asynchronous dump is taken by the z/OS operating system.
This parameter is only available under z/OS and only if asynchronous dumps are activated by setting SNAPCTL bits x'05' on.
Valid settings of SDUMPOPT are (options can be summed):
| Setting | Areas to dump... |

| X'00000000 10000000' | MXI workarea |
| X'00000000 08000000' | Checkpoint buffers |

| X'00000000 00001000' | Spill buffers |
| X'00000000 00000800' | Server swapping |
| X'00000000 00000400' | NUMBUFG buffers |
| X'00000000 00000200' | NUMBUFG DBCD/HASH |
| X'00000000 00000100' | Resident requests |
| X'00000000 00000080' | User area 0 |
| X'00000000 00000040' | User area 1 |
| X'00000000 00000020' | User area 2 |

| X'00000000 00000002' | Reserved |
| X'00000000 00000001' | Reserved |
Undefined bits are reserved but may be specified. For instance, SDUMPOPT=-1 may be specified in order to turn on all defined ATB areas.
User defined ATB areas may be activated by setting the bit number into the third byte of register 1 before calling GCORE64. For example, to activate User area 1, register 1 is set to x'00003900' (bit number 57) prior to GCORE64.
