Formatting a Hexadecimal Buffer Dump (CULEDUMP)

CULEDUMP produces a hexadecimal dump of the CA Culprit output buffer in horizontal or vertical format, as shown below.

Horizontal and Vertical Dump Formats

In horizontal (default) format, hexadecimal representation of data precedes EBCDIC characters for the same data; both sets of data print on the same line. The first two columns of the dump define the position of the first character of data shown on that line in the output buffer and the address of that line in storage. In vertical format, EBCDIC characters print immediately above their hexadecimal representation. The bottom line of this dump indicates the position in the output buffer, but storage address information is not available.
