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

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.

Software AG technical support personnel will advise you of the required module name.

DUMP ABEND

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.
