ERASE NOHEX NOVIRT dump is read from the spool file and assigned the next
sequential problem number (PRBnnnnn) as the dump number.
specifies that the duap being processed is to be erased. specifies that a load map is not to be printed.
specifies that the hexadecimal portion of the dump is not to
be printed.
specifies that no formatted control blccks are to be printed.
specifies that only the real machine control blocks are to be
formatted. This option is ignored if NOFORM is also
specified.
1. The CP load map (NUC MAP) is for VMFDUBP function
to execute correctly. This file must reside on the I-disk of the IPCS virtual machine used to invoke VMFDUMP. If VMFDUMP does not
find NUC or finds that it is invalid, you are asked to enter
the name of the current load map. You may add the load aap to tbe
dump by using the KAP subcommand of DUMPSCAN. ' 2. Tbe dump specified by PRBnnnnn will be bandIed according to the
options used. Wben a dump number is specified in the V!FDU!P command, no data extraction occurs. The fcllowing example is tbe
suggested command for processing a new dump: VKFDU!P NOFORM NOHEX NO FOR! NOHEX VMFDUMP will:
inhibits the printing of formatted control blocks
inhibits the printing of tbe hexadecimal portion of
tbe dump. • Read the dump from the spool file. • Assign the next sequential problem number as the dump number. • Perform the data extraction. • Create a problem report.
The filenames of dumps created by the VMFDU!P are of the form PRBnnnnn DUMP. Upon completion of the problem report generation function of the
extended VKFDUMP, a search is made of the symptom summary file for a
possible duplicate problem. Up to ten possible duplicate problems are
displayed with their associated status. Whether or not the problem was
a duplicate, an entry is made in the symptom summary file for this
problem.

invoked. In this exa.ple, he elects to create a CBS du.p
file. The processing messages related to creating the file
follow. If the file is processed and saved using the YBFDUMP program, the CP spool file is erased, and the newly created CMS file becomes PRBnnnnn DUMP, where nnnnn is a nu.ber fro. 00001 through Bote: If VMFDUMP terminates or enters a loop condition because of an unrecoverable or invalid situation encountered while attempting to
