Automation with PRODAMP

PRODAMP (PROcedure language for DAMP) is a language similar to Pascal designed for the formulation of diagnostic algorithms in DAMP. With PRODAMP, it is possible to write decision-based statements, which would otherwise have to be entered individually by hand, into a procedure and to execute them automatically. It is possible, for example, to follow chains down to a structure which contains a specific data item, to search tables and process (e.g. arithmetically) the values they contain, or to have questions such as “Is this task holding a lock?” answered automatically.

PRODAMP is described in detail in section “PRODAMP”.
