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:
