Hi,
I have a job with programs executing in the same and one of the programs is abending with an User abend. The record causing the abend has been identified by performing a dump analysis (Looking at current record read and available in memory).
But it took a long time to identify the DSN in which the record was available since the DD name on in which the faulty record was available had 20+ DSNs concatenated together.
Is there a quick way to identify the DSN in which such faulty record/current record is available??
Thanks,
DJ |

If you know the offset, length and content of the 'faulty' field(s), you could run a DFSORT job against each of the separate DSNs in the concatenation....

| Was there an input record count in the program? If so, you could use the record counts of the 20+ files to find the DSN in question. If there is a unique character string or key, you could SRCHFOR it and it would tell you which relative dataset the record was found in. |

There are two somewhat different ways a concatenated data set can be used: PDS concatenation, and sequential concatenation. Most likely, though, you are using sequential concatenation.- Locate the DCB you are using the read the data set. This is fairly easy for an Assembler program, it is harder for other languages.
- Find the DCBTIOT data area in the DCB. DCBTIOT is located at offset X'0028' in the DCB. It is a two byte binary data area. The value in DCBTIOT is the offset of the current TIOT DD entry in the TIOT for the data set currently being processed by the DCB. There is one DD entry in the TIOT for each DD statement.
In a SYSUDUMP type dump, the TIOT is partially formatted, like this -
| Code: |
TIOT: 009BFFE8
JOB...... XXXXXXX STEP..... C
LN-STA DDNAME TTR-STC STB-UCB
+0018 14010100 PGM=*.DD 9D2A9800 80F48EA0
+002C 14010102 SYSUDUMP 9D2D9800 80000000 |
The +0018 or +002C is the offset of the DD entry. From there you go to your JCL to get the data set. |

| One TIOT entry per DD or one per DSN? |

The TIOT has one DD entry for each DD statement.

The value in DCBTIOT is 002C, so the DD statement is the SNAP DD statement.
In -

015094 is the storage address, 0020 is the hexadecimal offset of the address in the block of storage in the dump, 32 is the decimal offset. The TIOT was produced by an Assembler SNAP macro rather than an ABEND dump, but the format is the same, and the storage dump was produced by a custom dump program written for another project. |

The TIOT will have one entry for each DD statement, but it will also have an entry for each concatenated dataset on a DD statement. In your example, if X'007C' had been located at that position in the DCB, then it would have indicated the second DSN for the DD APDS, which is what the TS/OP wants to know. They know the DD, but want to know which of 20+ DSNs on that DD contain the current (bad) record.
I think Abend-Aid tells you flat out, if you just find the right place, but I don't know if TS/OP is using Abend-Aid. |

Well, it's a DD statement, isn't it?
APDS was a poor example, since it represents PDS concatenation rather than sequential concatenation. In PDS concatenation, once the data sets are opened they operate together; a program using BPAM can quickly and easily switch between the data sets; the currently active data set will not be reflected in DCBTIOT, as is true with sequential concatenation. I put in APDS simply to illustrate what a TIOT with concatenation looks like. |

The TS/OP is talking about locating the current dataset in a concatenation of datasets that contains the faulting record.
So all the talk about PDS concatenation is of nil value.
Taking a SNAP dump of areas will always show the SNAP DCB as active, because that is where the output goes.
Real abends caused by faulty records and going to SYSUDUMP will give quite
different results concerning control blocks, pointers etc.
So all this is a bit an after the fact situation. The TS/OP has to take care that his input is valid or the processing program can handle rotten input. |

Yes and no. My only goal was to show the method is not universally applicable.

I just needed an open DCB - and SNAP was the only open DCB. Be reasonable. I needed something quick and one off for the exposition. I was not about to write something where I read part way through a concatenated data set and then took my dump. |

That was a stupid reaction.

Ok, so don't come up with a crap story about PDS concatenation. The same nonsense last time with using Idcams to copy a PDS.
And i'm reasonable, but don't come up with SNAP dumps. Give a real live example, where you find the dataset in a concatenation with the culprit record. That will be a tough job.
So i repeat it once more :
