OS/VS COBOL did
not produce a formatted dump. With Language Environment,
when a condition of 2 or greater is raised and left unhandled, you can produce
a formatted dump by specifying the TERMTHDACT(DUMP) or TERMTHDACT(UADUMP)
runtime option.
The
Language Environment formatted
dump can contain various information, including information on:
- Symbolic dump of variables, arguments, and registers
- File control blocks
- File buffers
- Runtime control blocks
- Storage used by the program
For examples of
Language Environment dump
output, see
Language Environment Debugging Guide and Run-Time Messages.
