Information on program execution can be collected in two different ways: by logging the progress of execution and by dumping the contents of the memory at the time of an actual or suspected error. Both approaches, and how they are implemented in BS2000, are described in the following sections.
Command | Meaning |
ACTIVATE-SNAPSHOT | Activate dump generator SNAP |
ADD-ASE-ELEMENT | Declare ASE element |
ADD-USER | Permit user-specific control of the hardware or linkage AUDIT, define user-specific test privilege |
CANCEL-JOB | Control of CDUMP dump output and other purposes |
CHANGE-SERSLOG-FILE | Closes the current SERSLOG file and opens a new one |
CREATE-DUMP | Request a user or system dump |
DEACTIVATE-SNAPSHOT | Deactivate dump generator SNAP |
EXIT-JOB | Control of CDUMP dump output and other purposes |
FORCE-CANCEL-JOB | Control of CDUMP dump output and other purposes |
HOLD-HARDWARE-AUDIT | Interrupt hardware AUDIT mode |
HOLD-LINKAGE-AUDIT | Interrupt linkage AUDIT mode |
MODIFY-ASE-PARAMETERS | Modify global ASE settings |
MODIFY-FILE-ATTRIBUTES | Control access to shareable files on a file-specific basis for a user ID with the HARDWARE-MAINTENANCE privilege |
MODIFY-TEST-OPTIONS | Modify AID test privilege values locally and the control of dump requests, permit task-local hardware or linkage AUDIT. |
MODIFY-USER-ATTRIBUTES | Permit user-specific control of the hardware or linkage AUDIT. |
REMOVE-ASE-ELEMENT | Delete ASE element |
RESUME-HARDWARE-AUDIT | Resume interrupted hardware AUDIT mode |
RESUME-LINKAGE-AUDIT | Resume interrupted linkage AUDIT mode |

SHOW-SNAPSHOT-STATUS | Display information on SNAP dump |
SHOW-TEST-OPTIONS | Display task-specific settings for test and diagnosis |
SHOW-TRACE-STATUS | Request attribute and status information on system traces |
START-DAMP | Start DAMP |
START-ELFE | Start ELFE |
START-HARDWARE-AUDIT | Start hardware AUDIT mode |
START-LINKAGE-AUDIT | Start linkage AUDIT mode |
START-NDM-DIAGNOSIS | Start NDMDUMP |
START-SERSLOG | Activate SERSLOG |
START-TRACE | Activate switchable trace |
STOP-HARDWARE-AUDIT | Terminate hardware AUDIT mode and release the AUDIT table |
STOP-LINKAGE-AUDIT | Terminate linkage AUDIT mode and release the AUDIT table |
STOP-SERSLOG | Deactivate SERSLOG |
STOP-TRACE | Switch off active trace |
