Using DAMP, SLEDs produced on an operating system other than BS2000 (e.g. IPL, BOOT, STARTUP or SLED) can also be processed.
Any dump file can be opened without virtual addressing with the statement OPEN-DIAGNOSIS-OBJECT <filename> (KIND-OF-OBJECT=*SELF-LOADER).
DAMP does not offer an automatic edit function for the editing of files opened as self-loaders. All addresses are interpreted as real addresses. The areas in main memory can only be accessed via real addresses.
The following functions are possible:
output of memory pages in the usual formats (D, H, C, ...) to various dump windows
(manual) assignment of any symbol file for symbolic editing of the output
selective search for strings (FIND function) using wildcards, with the option of restricting the search area
output of page areas to SYSLST in the normal DAMP layout
use of PRODAMP procedures that permit the easy analysis of SLEDs without a BS2000 structure
