Setting Up for a Process Dump

The DUMPPROCESS statement in the CONFIG.SYS file on your system allows you to activate the process dump facility. When a process dump file is created the file name takes the form of PDUMP.nnn where nnn is an index that is incremented each time a new process dump is created.

The syntax of the DUMPPROCESS statement in the CONFIG.SYS file is defined below.

DUMPPROCESS=x

x

This parameter specifies the drive letter (excluding the colon) on system where the process dump data file is stored. The file takes the name PDUMP.nnn and resides in the root directory of the drive specified.
