Display System-Related Areas

The System‑Related Areas menu lets you display the following, either from the beginning or from a specified offset or scan value:

• CICS area listed on the menu (field Œ)
• Any CICS hexadecimal address (field )
• Single table entry (field Ž)
• Program load module or BMS map (fields  and)

Follow these entry instructions:

• Specify the area to display using one of the following entries:

ΠCICS AREA:

To get an entire area or table, specify any CORE key area, such as CSA.

 ADDRESS:

To get a CICS address, specify one to eight hexadecimal digits.

Ž CICS TABLE entry:

To get a single table entry, specify the entry next to the appropriate table.

Note: To display the entire table, use the CICS AREA field.

 PROGRAM:

To get a program load module, specify a program name.

 PROGRAM and M:

To display a BMS MAP, specify the map name in the PROGRAM field, and specify M in the field to the right.

• After specifying the system areas for display, specify where to begin the display using the Optional offset and/or Scan fields.

‘ Optional offset:

Specify a hexadecimal offset or sequence of offsets.
Each offset must begin with either + (a positive hexadecimal displacement), ‑ (a negative hexadecimal displacement), @ (an indirect address), or % (an indirect XA address). You can also calculate offsets. For example: @32*4.

’/“Scan Value and Range:

CA InterTest for CICS searches for the value you specify in the range of hexadecimal or decimal bytes you specify.

• To get the requested display, press Enter for a structured display. (Structured displays give field names and main storage contents in DSECT sequence.)

  From the structured display, press Enter for a dump display. (Dump displays give main storage contents with 16 hexadecimal and character bytes per line.)
