- Dump to media
When the output device is a printer or media, the actual dump task runs
asynchronously with the Display/Alter/Dump control functions. That is, while a
dump is completing on a printer or media, you can operate the display/alter
function (output device is the display), or you can make other dump requests
for a printer or media. The system saves dump requests in a first-in-first-out
queue and processes them one at a time. To display the status of the
Display/Alter/Dump asynchronous dump task, select the Display dump status
option on the Display/Alter/Dump Output Device display.
v To generate a printout from media that contains data from the
Display/Alter/Dump function or from other Licensed Internal Code service
functions.
– Select the Print media dump file option on the Display/Alter/Dump Output
Device display.
The Display/Alter/Dump function is controlled by selecting display options and
by responding to prompts. Each Display/Alter/Dump function option allows you
to request specific data. The following are examples of data types:
v Machine Interface (MI) object
v Licensed Internal Code (LIC) data
v LIC module
v Tasks and processes
v Starting address
Note: When you exit the Display/Alter/Dump function, the dump request that is
running is ended (even if it has not completed). Unprocessed dump requests
are lost.

media (tape or optical)
