When I transfer a standalone dump SYSDUMP, I first run DOSVSDMP to get a
list of how many dump files are on the SA dump disk.  With that
information, I can then build an INFOANA job to load as many of the dumps
as I need.  In the sample JCL listed below, the SA dump process had created
33 files on the dump disk, one for each partition active at the time of the
dump, plus one for the supervisor and the SVA, plus two that seem to be
related to real storage management.

DOSVSDMP scan JCL:

* $$ JOB JNM=DOSVSDMP,DISP=D,PRI=3,CLASS=N
* $$ LST CLASS=Q,DISP=D,DEST=(*,100)
// JOB DOSVSDMP
// DLBL IJSYSDU,'VSE.DUMP.FILE'
// EXTENT ,,,,15,14985
// EXEC DOSVSDMP,PARM='SCAN DEVICE=A7A'
/*
/&
* $$ EOJ

INFOANA load JCL:

* $$ JOB JNM=DMPONL,DISP=D,PRI=3,CLASS=Y
* $$ LST CLASS=Q,DISP=D
// JOB DMPONL
// EXEC PROC=DTRINFOA
// ASSGN SYS009,DISK,VOL=DMNS00,SHR
// DLBL IJSYSDU,'VSE.DUMP.FILE'
// EXTENT SYS009,,,,15,14985
// EXEC INFOANA,SIZE=1024K

Hmmm, you TCP/IP statements look conspicuously like ones I posted
previously on this list.

The last SYSDUMP file I sent was fairly recent where I used the following
SINGLE PUT statement:

PUT SYSDUMP.F1.DF100016.DUMP 08005.550.000.DF100016.bin

I can't say if IBM doesn't like your format or not. Is the 86998 the PMR
number? Is the 487 your branch number? The above doesn't have BG and it
ends with .bin (3 characters only!). I've never specified one with MORE
than 3 characters.

A question I do have is did you get ALL those entries from onloading a
SINGLE SA-DUMP. How did you do that? When I onload SA-DUMPs, using
Info-Analysis, although I do so from disk (we have 2 3390-3's dedicated to
SYSDUMPs on disk), I get a SINGLE entry. I don't think I get any entries
beginning with M, like you did. As far as I know the M's aren't dumps.
Info-Analysis puts them out for whatever reason. I've never seen any doc on
what they are. In any case I do NOT send them.

Why don't you try changing ONE of your statements and using it ONLY to the
above format and see what happens.

Sorry, won't be able to help you further, I'll be on vacation.
