Introduction to MPE XL for MPE V Programmers Migration Guide

SETDUMP, STACKDUMP 
(changed) 

The SETDUMP and STACKDUMP intrinsics are available in a modified form in
both CM and NM. The optional parameters listed below are ignored by MPE
XL when they are specified in the indicated intrinsic call:

  flags--SETDUMP and STACKDUMP

  idnumber--STACKDUMP

  selec--STACKDUMP

Note that the idnumber parameter, while ignored as input, is still used,
when appropriate, to return a file system error number.


NOTE  While SETDUMP and STACKDUMP are available in NM, enhanced
      functionality is provided to NM programs through the HPDEBUG,
      HPRESETDUMP, and HPSETDUMP intrinsics.


Note that there is no HPSTACKDUMP intrinsic.  The user can produce a
custom stackdump by using the  intrinsic and entering "TRACE" as one of
the command parameters.

The secondary entrypoint STACKDUMP', used to send the stack trace to an
already-opened file, is not available in the NM version of STACKDUMP (it
remains available in CM only).  An equivalent feature is available in NM
through the HPSETDUMP intrinsic.
