The KDCDUMP tool

The dump files created by openUTM are PAM files. These files must be edited using the utility routine KDCDUMP. KDCDUMP offers two possible methods of editing:

  • Interactive evaluation: 
    KDCDUMP loads a complete dump or a part of it into memory, allowing you to process it interactively at the terminal. Interactive evaluation allows you, for example, to perform specific editing and search operations on particular tables in an extensive dump.

  • Editing of entire dump files in list form: 
    KDCDUMP produces complete, edited dump files or file generation groups (FGGs) which you can output to a printer or view on the terminal by means of /SHOW-FILE, for example.

Editing of the dumps is controlled by means of statements which are entered after starting KDCDUMP. The KDCDUMP utility can also be controlled by specifying link names.

KDCDUMP is terminated by the control statement END.

If KDCDUMP runs into an error during the evaluation of the dump, the link name KDCDUMP is not released automatically. In this case, you should release the link name manually before KDCDUMP starts up next time and you should try to prepare the dump without summary information (INFO=DUMP).

If KDCDUMP and the dump file do not belong to the same version of openUTM, then the dump is not output. KDCDUMP then outputs message K719 from which you can determine which version KDCDUMP and the UTM dump each belong to.
