Hi,

Iam just curious to know if we can dynamically capture dump in CICS. In other words, i would like know if there is way to capture cics dump at given offset, where this offset can be anything based on user input. I understand this more like a debugging tool job, which monitors program execution but just thought of getting forum's views.

Also, if anybody has some documents/materials which explains how debugging tools like Xpeditor monitors program execution internally, that would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Regards,
Harish.

Thanks Kolusu, for your time and info. Link contains useful information about how to create dumps in program and how to work with them.

I understand that we can create a dump using EXEC CICS DUMP command but not sure if we can do something to dynamically invoke this command at run time at any given offset in the program which user wants.

Thanks,
Harish.
