Using the DUMP Operation Code

Chapter 13. Obtaining a Dump

This chapter describes how to obtain an ILE RPG formatted dump and sample formatted dump.

Obtaining an ILE RPG Formatted Dump

To	obtain an ILE RPG			formatted dump	(printout	of	storage) for a pro
is	running,	you	can:
¹	Code one	or	more	DUMP operation	codes in	the	calculation specific

¹Respond to a run-time message with a D or F option. It is also automatically reply to make a dump available. Refer to the “System

discussion in CLtheProgramming manual.

The formatted dump includes field contents, data structure contents, contents, the file information data structures, and the program status The dump is written to the file called QPPGMDMP. (A system abnormal du written to the file QPSRVDMP.)

If you respond to an ILE RPG run-time message with an F option, the includes the hexadecimal representation of the open data path (ODP, agement control block).

The dump information includes the global data associated with

the

Note: To obtain a dump of variable data, the program object must ha data. That is, it must be created with any debug view excep debug data is available, then the dump will still contain the PS information.

Using the DUMP Operation Code

You can code one or more DUMP operation codes in the calculations o source to obtain a ILE RPG formatted dump. A new QPPGMDMP spool file created whenever the DUMP operation occurs.

Note the following about the DUMP operation:

¹	The	DUMP	operation runs		(is	active) only	if	keyword DEBUG(*YES)			is
	on the control specification. If the keyword is not specified,
	specified, the DUMP operation is checked							for errors	and	the	sta
	printed		on the	listing,	but	the DUMP is not processed.
¹	If	the	DUMP	operation	is	conditioned,	it	occurs only	if	the	cond
