DAMP statements must be entered in the command line on the screen. The SDF dialog interface supports interactive entry. The metasyntax for the applications is described in the “Commands” manual [8].
Since the command line can only accommodate 75 characters, longer statements must be abbreviated in such a way that there is no risk of confusion.
In batch and procedure mode, statements are the only type of entry permitted and are the only entries read and processed by SYSDTA.
The following DAMP statements are available. They are sorted according to fields of application:
| |
OPEN-DIAGNOSIS-OBJECT | Open diagnosis object for processing |
ADD-SYMBOLS | Assign symbols for output |
MODIFY-OBJECT-ASSUMPTIONS | Modify default settings for diagnosis object |
| |
MODIFY-SCREEN-LAYOUT | Define new sequence and size for diagnostic windows |
SHOW-EDITED-INFORMATION | Output specially edited diagnosis data |
USE-REGISTER | Define representation for disassembled output |
DROP-REGISTER | Cancel setting made with USE-REGISTER |
| |
LOG-SESSION | Activate logging of the diagnosis run. This creates a logging file. |
REPEAT-SESSION | Replay a diagnostic log |
PRINT-LOGGING-FILE | Edit and print a logging file. |
STOP-LOGGING | Terminates logging of the diagnosis run started with LOG-SESSION. |
