We are in the process of making some upgrades to our CICS regions and an issue that has come up is 31-bit Cobol CICS programs that contain static calls to 24-bit Assembler programs. Specifically we have a number of programs that are issuing static calls to DUMP.

DUMP is an obsolete 24 bit abend routine. CICS programs should NEVER use DUMP or STDABEND to create a dump. There are acceptable methods in CICS for creating dumps: this is not one of them.

In my opinion you should avoid having dumps taken unless absolutely necessary. Dumps impact the performance of your system dramatically!

I am sorry. I think i was not clear the last when i posted the Question.

My requirement is to get the Dump

Are there any acceptable methods in CICS for creating dumps other than DUMP or STDABEND since CICS programs should never use DUMP or STDABEND
