Viewing stack dump header information on OS/390

Tip icon
To view a stack dump taken on OS/390, you must export the desired dump to a predefined partitioned or sequential data set and download it to the workstation, where you can view it in Smalltalk using the stack dump debugger.

You can remove stack dumps from the stack dump VSAM data set by executing a supplied program that removes old stack dumps from the data set.

The stack dump facility enables you to view the header information of the stack dumps that occurred on the system. To use the stack dump facility, you must be in ISPF. Either enter TSO STAKDUMP from any panel that allows TSO commands or, from option 6, enter STAKDUMP.

When you enter the stack dump facility, you will see a panel resembling the following:
