To edit a dump, you must call the KDCDUMP program. KDCDUMP offers two possible methods:
Interactive evaluation:
KDCDUMP loads a dump or part of a dump into memory, allowing you to process it interactively at the terminal. The dump is output tostderr. Interactive evaluation allows you, for example, to perform specific editing and search operations on particular tables in an extensive dump.
You can specify which editor you want to use for editing (KDCDUMP command EDT) using the EDITOR environment variable.Default on Unix and Linux systems:
vi.Default under Windows systems: WORDPAD.
Editing of entire dump files in list form:
KDCDUMP produces complete, edited dump files or file generation groups (FGGs) which you can view on the terminal by using an editor, for example.
Editing of the dumps is controlled by means of statements which are entered after starting KDCDUMP.
KDCDUMP is terminated by the control statement END.
When an error occurs in KDCDUMP during the evaluation, you should try to prepare the dump without summary information (INFO=DUMP).
If KDCDUMP and the dump file produced do not belong to the same openUTM version, then the dump is not output. KDCDUMP then outputs message K719. You can determine which version of openUTM the KDCDUMP and the UTM dump each belong to by reading this message.
