This section describes some other files that you might find useful for problem determination on z/OS.
Other files are stored in the home directory of the user ID of the started task. The MVS command D A, jobname displays the user ID of the job. The directory of the user ID is typically /u/userid but you should check this with your systems programmer, or issue the TSO command LU userid OMVS. If you are authorized, this command displays text including the HOME statement.
There might be several different sorts of files in the home directory, such as core dump files.
UNIX System Services (USS) files (for customization tasks) are located under /component_HFS/output, where component_HFS is the HFS directory where the component has been customized.
If you cannot access an HFS file or directory, it might be that you do not have permission to do so. This might mean that you are not able to issue certain commands. You need to ask the owner of the file or directory to give you permission to use the file.
