The Assembler and CICS Areas Structured Display

You obtain a structured display by default when accessing Assembler main storage from:

To get a structured display when executing a CORE command from an existing CORE display, type the command and press PF12 instead of Enter.

Note: If a structured format is not available for the requested area or data, the dump format and a message display.

The following diagram gives the structured format for Assembler and CICS areas. The fields are displayed in DSECT sequence.

Œ

Individual field names as defined in the DSECT.



CICS address of each field.

Ž

Displacement column is the field's relative hexadecimal displacement within the DSECT.



Hexadecimal display area gives the storage contents of each field named on the left. Each byte is displayed as two hexadecimal digits with spaces inserted after every four bytes. Up to 16 bytes display per line. Fields longer than 16 bytes have multiple lines of hexadecimal display. This area is unprotected and you can overtype it to dynamically modify the data values displayed.



Character display area gives the character representation of each displayable byte for the field on the left. Hexadecimal 40s display as spaces; non‑displayable bytes are indicated by periods. Overtype this area to dynamically modify the data values displayed.

PF keys are listed below the storage display. Each is defined in Structured Displays later in this chapter.

CORE command line displays the CORE command entered or generated from a Source Listing Breakpoint storage request or a CORE menu. To request another structured display, modify the CORE command and press PF12. To request a dump format of a CORE display or to enter a CNTL command, modify the command and press Enter.
