Parameters Examples Error messages |
The Dump Object (DMPOBJ) command dumps the contents or attributes of the specified operating system object to a spooled printer file named QPSRVDMP. Whether the contents or attributes can be dumped depends on the object type. If the user had specified SPOOL(*NO) on either the CHGPRTF command or the OVRPRTF command, then the output is not spooled but printed directly; and, if the printer is not available, then this command overrides the print job and spools the output. When the user specifies SPOOL(*NO) on one of the two commands above, the user must specify QPSRVDMP as the printer file. Any library or object that is stored in a library can be dumped, but only one object can be specified at a time on this command.

Example 2: Dumping a Program
DMPOBJ OBJ(MYPROG) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
This command dumps the first copy of the program MYPROG that is found in the library list. The dump is spooled to the printer output file QPSRVDMP.
