Allow the Dump operation code in the ON-EXIT group. If an error has happened a program dump can be generated.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed.

    The code in the ON-EXIT section is actually handled by another procedure that is generated by the RPG compiler. The formatted dump does not operate as expected when it is requested from the on-exit procedure so the DUMP opcode is not allowed within an ON-EXIT section.
