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):

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.
