//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
Check the JES2 output when the job ends to ensure that it completed correctly. This is a
somewhat unusual job. If there are error messages (perhaps about PUTIPL SYSIN problems
or a message from ICKDSF) you must delete the dump program data set (on volume
LOCAL1 in this example, and it will have data set name SYS1.PAGEDUMP.VLOCAL1) before
trying the job again. The format of the GENPARMS input should conform to basic assembly
language rules, with the continuation indicator in column 72 and the continued text starting in
column 16.
If you have already written IPL text on the dump program volume (LOCAL1 in this example),
there will be an operator message and reply before the IPL text is replaced.
3.7.2 Taking a standalone z/OS dump
We assume you have been running z/OS and need to take a standalone dump for some
reason:
$ stop (stop the CP)
$ ipl AB3 (assume volume LOCAL1 is mounted at this address)
Wait about 10 seconds and press Enter on the 3270 console at address 700.

3.8 Moving 3390 volumes
The following text describes a generic method of moving 3390 volumes between z/OS
systems (including z/OS on zPDT). Another method, using a client/server application
provided with zPDT, is described in Chapter 11, “DASD volume migration” on page 113.
zPDT-emulated DASD volumes can be transferred to other systems in several ways. Sending
a volume to another zPDT system is especially easy. The Linux file that holds the emulated
3390 volume can simply be copied. Optionally, the copy could be compressed (with gzip, for
example) for transmission. The transmission could be by ftp, by a USB thumb drive, by
burning a CD or DVD, or by various other means. The key element is that a large Linux binary
file is being transferred.
