CBL_CREATE_STACKDUMP

Restrictions: This routine has the following restrictions:

It is only supported on Linux platforms.
It is not supported in programs built to INT or GNT.

Generates a stackdump file.

Syntax:

call "CBL_CREATE_STACKDUMP" using by value flags
                            using by value process-id
                            using by reference stackdump-name
                                 returning status-code

Parameters:

	Using call prototype (see Key)	Picture
`flags`	cblt-x4-comp5	pic x(4) comp-5.
`process-id`	cblt-x4-comp5	pic x(4) comp-5.
`stackdump-name`	pic x(`n`)	pic x(`n`)

On Entry:

flags

Control flags

0x1: By default, only the thread that called the routine is dumped. By setting this flag, all threads in the process are dumped.

process-id

The process ID. If this is set to 0, the calling process is dumped.

stackdump-name

The name of the output stackdump file as a null-terminated string. If set to null, the value is taken from the stackdump_filename tunable. If the tunable is also not set, the platform default is used, which is <program-basename>.stackdump.<process-id>.log.

stackdump-name can contain the same string substitution characters as the stackdump_filename tunable.

%%: Single %
%d: The date of when the program encountered the error, in the format yyyymmdd
%f: The basename of the program that encountered the error
%p: The process ID of the program that has encountered the error
%t: The time of when the program encountered the error, in the format hhmmss

For example: To create a stackdump file that contains the program name and pid, enter %f.%p.dump

On Exit:

status-code

The possible return values are:

0: Success
1: Invalid process ID
2: Could not create or write to stackdump file
3: Unable to start diagnostics
4: Invalid flags
5: Routine not supported on the platform
6: Internal error
