Hello Andrew!

Try undocumented DosDumpProcess API, it generates file PDUMP.??? on the
root of the specified drive with a dump for certain application. Then you
may use PM Dump Facility to view the dump file. If you run OS/2 Version 4.0
than PMDF is located at \os2\pdpsi\pmdf, otherwise you should obtain it
somewhere else.

Here is an example:

-------------------------------8<------------------------------------
#define INCL_DOSPROCESS
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

#define DMP_OFF 0    // set default process dumping OFF
#define DMP_ON  1    // set default process dumping ON
#define DMP_PID 2    // dump process by pid

APIRET APIENTRY DosDumpProcess(ULONG ulFlag, ULONG ulDrive, ULONG ulPid);

main()
{
    APIRET rc;
    ULONG  ulDrive;
    PTIB   ptib;
    PPIB   ppib;

    DosGetInfoBlocks(&ptib, &ppib);

    printf("Enter drive letter to dump on: ");
    fflush(stdout);
    do
    {
        ulDrive = getch();
    } while (!isalpha(ulDrive));

    printf("%c:\n", ulDrive);

    printf("Dumping current process (pid: %d) on drive %c:...",
            ppib->pib_ulpid, ulDrive);
    fflush(stdout);

    if (!(rc = DosDumpProcess(DMP_PID, ulDrive, ppib->pib_ulpid)))
    {
        printf("done\n");

        printf("Dumping parent process (pid: %d) on drive %c:...",
                ppib->pib_ulppid, ulDrive);
        fflush(stdout);

        if (!(rc = DosDumpProcess(DMP_PID, ulDrive, ppib->pib_ulppid)))
        {
            printf("done\n");
        }
    }
    if (rc)
    {
        printf("DosDumpProcess reports an error %d\n", rc);
    }
    return 0;
}
