Producing an APAR tape

You can use the authorized program analysis report (APAR) tape function when you are reporting a problem to Customer Support. The APAR tape function generates a batch job that collects data sets that are useful for problem determination and writes them to a tape. You might need to modify the JCL that is generated so that all your event data sets are collected.

For a detailed description of the procedure for documenting and reporting problems, see Diagnosis Guide and Reference.
