`DUMP` |  |  | `SRCE` `SSRC` `SVAR` `ZAPS` [{product-code | module-name}] `SZAP` [{product-code | module-name}] `?` |  |

This command is used to provide information for support personnel in order to locate an error that caused an abnormal termination (abend) of the Natural system. Forward this information to support for error diagnosis and correction.

In the following table, the term "product" refers to base Natural and Natural add-on products. The list of source changes or Zaps that may be returned by a DUMP command refer to source changes and Zaps applied to the current product version after initial installation.

`DUMP` | Displays abend information (core contents).
`DUMP SRCE` | Lists source changes applied to products linked to the current Natural nucleus.
`DUMP SSRC` | Lists special source changes applied to products linked to the current Natural nucleus.
`DUMP SVAR` | Displays TP monitor and operating system dependent system variables and additional information.
`DUMP ZAPS` or `DUMP SZAP` | Lists Zaps (`DUMP ZAPS`) or special Zaps only (`DUMP SZAP`) applied to products linked to the current Natural nucleus.
`product-code` | Lists Zaps applied to a single product linked to the current Natural nucleus. `product-code` is the letter code that corresponds to the required product, for example, `NAT` for base Natural. All valid product codes are listed in Overview of New Natural Add-On Product Versions in the current Natural Release Notes for z/OS. There are three special product codes: `ASM` (for NATASMvr), `RSM` (for NATRSMvr), and `DRV`, which shows the ZAPs for the current TP driver that Natural is running on.
`module-name` | Lists Zaps applied to a module that is not linked to the current Natural nucleus but concatenated to the Natural load library in the Natural execution JCL or in the appropriate library of the TP monitor program. `module-name` is a module name that has at least five characters. Support personnel will advise you of the required module name.
`DUMP ABEND` or `DUMP ABND` | Displays an overview of all important information after a program check (NAT0054) occurred, like Program name, Line number, registers, PSW, etc.
`DUMP CSECTS` or `DUMP CSCT` | Shows all CSECTs in the nucleus.
`DUMP EPLS` | Shows all 3-GL routines that have been linked to the nucleus, as well as the number of calls.
`DUMP EPLN` | Like DUMP EPLS, but sorted by name.
`DUMP EPLP` | Like DUMP EPLS, but sorted by program.
`DUMP ?` or `DUMP HELP` | The `DUMP` command provides several other options (as explained on the help screens you get when you enter a question mark (?) on the `DUMP` menu). If necessary for error diagnosis, support personnel will tell you when and how to use these options.
