A. A memory dump is just what it sounds like – the entire contents of the machine’s memory is dumped to a file, so that a special debugger can examine the state of the machine when the abend occurred, and hopefully help to determine the cause of the abend. Resources on how to create a memory dump are available at: “Methods for getting a core dump” http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/tidfinder.cgi?2917547 “Tips for Using the Internal Debugger” http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/tidfinder.cgi?2920074 “Resolving Abends” http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw5/docui/index.
