Does anyone out there know how to do the equivalent of "SET PROCESS/DUMP" from a program? I'd like to distribute certain program images to our customers set up so that they'll generate dumps if they become ill. [The images in question run as subprocesses...] Replies to : Dave Barach, aka "dbarach@bbn" BBN Communications Corp. 50 Moulton St. Cambridge MA 02238 (617) 497-3884

[The images in question > run as subprocesses...] I'm not sure how you might do this from within the process in question, but while glancing through the $CREPRC doc yesterday, I remember seeing that there is a process status flag you can set so the process you create has process dumping enabled. If your subprocesses are being created by another part of your application with $CREPRC, that at least might get you what you want. /Kevin Carosso engvax!kvc @ CIT-VAX.ARPA Hughes Aircraft Co.

what is the equivalent of "run /dump" when using sys$creprc? how do I get a detached process to dump? I had the following code in my condition handler: if (severe_error) return (SS$_RESIGNAL); but I didn't get a dump when I signaled a fatal error.
