TRAPDUMP

The TRAPDUMP command allows the conditions under which a trap will initiate a System Dump to be set dynamically.

Warning:

The initiation of a System Dump causes an immediate termination of the system without any shutdown. No file system shutdown is performed. The system behaves as if a fatal crash has occurred, thus under rare circumstances data can be lost.

Syntax.

     TRAPDUMP [[ON] | [OFF] | [R0]] [x:] [/NOCHECK] [QUERY]

Parameters

ON

enables all application and system traps to initiate a System Dump.
OFF
disables automatic dump initiation.
R0
enables only Ring 0 traps to initiate a System Dump.
x:
specifies the Dump Partition.
/NOCHECK
disable the check for system level OS/2 Warp V4.0. This parameter is now obsolete, since the TRAPDUMP command is now abailable on all supported releases of OS/2.
QUERY
shows the current settings for TRAPDUMP as a CONFIG.SYS statement and an equivalent command line command.

Remarks

ON, OFF and R0 parameters are mutually exclusive.

The PD option of the CONFIG.SYS TRAPDUMP cannot be set dynamically.

TRAPDUMP was made available at fix pack 29 for OS/2 Warp V3.0 and base releases of later versions of OS/2.
