CEMT INQUIRE DUMPDS
CEMT INQUIRE DUMPDS
Function: Retrieve information about the CICS dump data
sets.
Description: INQUIRE DUMPDS tells you which dump
data set (A or B) is currently open.
Instead of using the SET command, you can overtype your
changes on the INQUIRE screen after tabbing to the
appropriate field. See “Overtyping a display” on page 47.
For information on using dumps, see the
CICS Problem
Determination Guide
.
Input: Press the Clear key and type CEMT INQUIRE DUMPDS
(the minimum abbreviation is CEMT I DU).
You will get a display screen, a sample of which is shown
below. If you want to change any of the values shown, you
can then tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype
them as required.

Note: There are blank fields on the screen where a value
does not apply or is ‘negative’; that is, the value
begins with ‘No’. To modify these fields, locate them
by tabbing (they appear in the same sequence as in
the expanded format), and overtype with input valid
for that field. You may find it more convenient to use
the expanded format when setting one of these
values, (negating is easier because you are
overtyping a displayed field with its negative causing
the result to become non-displayed).
If you place the cursor against the result and press ENTER,
CICS displays an expanded format as shown in Figure 68.

inquiry.
Currentdds(
value
)
displays a 1-character indicator as to which of the two
dump data sets is active. This can be A or B.
Openstatus
displays the status of the active CICS dump data set.
The values are:
Open
The active CICS dump data set is open.
Closed
The active CICS dump data set is closed.
Switch
The currently active dump data set is to become
inactive, and the currently inactive data set is to
become active.
Note: You can reset this value by overtyping it with a
different value.
Switchstatus
displays whether there is to be an automatic switch to
the inactive dump data set when the active dump data
set is full. The values are:
Autoswitch
The switch occurs only when the active dump
data set is full, but not subsequently.
Noautoswitch
When the active dump data set is full, there is not
to be an automatic switch to the inactive dump
data set.
Note: Because this is a ‘negative’ attribute, the
field appears blank. You can, however, tab
to this field and overtype it with a different
value.
Note: You can reset this value by overtyping it with a
different value.
