invoked. In this exa.ple, he elects to create a CBS du.p
file. The processing messages related to creating the file

April 1, 1981 HOW TO PRINT A C8S DU!P PILE Use the V8FDU8P co •• and to print a previously created dump file under C8S by enterinq: VMFDU8P PRBnnnnn [options]
at the terminal. The .essage: PRINTING FILE 'PRBnnnnn Dnn DU8P' then occurs at the ter.inal. When the specified file has been formatted
and printed, one of two cOBpletion messages is displayed: DUMP FILE 'PRBnnnnn Dnn DUMP' PRINTED AND KEPT
-- or -- DUMP FILE 'PRBnnnnn Dnn DUMP' PRINTED AND ERASED HOW TO PRINT A CP ABEND DU!P FR08 TAPE When the CP abend du.p is set to a tape, the records are 132 characters
long, unblocked, with a hlocksize of 132 and carriage control
characters.
If the CP dump unit has been specified as a tape drive, and one or
more dumps have been placed on the tape, use the following procedure to
print the dumps.
1. Log on to the V"/370 system with any userid that has the capability
of running C"S. No other special privilege classes or options are
required.
2. Attach a tape drive to the virtual machine as address Mount the tape containing the CP abend dumps. q. IPL the C!S system and perform the usual access requirements.
5. Issue the following C!S commands:
FILEDEF ddname1 PRINTER (RECF" UA LRECL 132)
FILEDEF ddname2 TAP1 (9track DEN nnnn RECF" U LRECL 132) KOVE ddname2 ddname1
cp close prt
step 5 can be repeated for as many dumps as are on the tape. Note
that the CP dump routines write two tape marks at the end of each file.
Therefore, to process the next dump. the TAPE FSF command line must be
issued to position the tape for reading the next dump file.
