Figure 62: Global selection parameters for the scope of the list
The scope of the list is determined by marking the SELECT fields. These permit the selection of four global output formats (INF/SYS/MIN/ALL) and of the selected output of certain user-specified areas (OPT). In the first case, DAMP decides which areas are output; in the second case, you decide. In order to make the difference between these two possibilities more obvious, only the detailed selection parameters permitted in connection with SELECT FROM are shown within the inner frame of the list mask. Filling out or marking any field within this frame causes an automatic switch to SELECT FROM.
The parameters for the global outputs have the following meanings:
INF SYS | Information edited in INF mode in the status window is output to SYSLST. Only the system overview is output. Depending on the settings of the DIAG and DESCR parameters, this may include output of the error descriptors (see "Fields for pre-diagnosis and error descriptors"). |
MIN | A minimum list is output (see "Components and scope of the output lists"). This list generally contains all the data necessary for an initial diagnosis. If necessary, any gaps can be filled by selecting additional explicit lists (SELECT FROM). This is the default value. |
ALL | A complete list is output (see "Components and scope of the output lists"). For system and user dumps, this means that all pages saved by CDUMP are included in the list. The complete list of a system dump produces a stack of paper about one and a half meters high. |
Otherwise, only those areas selected explicitly are output within the frame. An explanation of the options can be found in section "Selecting individual areas for output".
