Display Storage Related to a Task at a Breakpoint

The following table lists the commands used to display an area of main storage whose contents are meaningful only when a task stops at a breakpoint.

Core Command

Result

CORE=ARGnn

Displays argument nn on the breakpointed program's argument list, where nn is a decimal number from 0 99. The address of the argument list must be in register 1.

CORE=BLLnn

Displays the BLL cell with relative number nn, where nn is a decimal number from 0 99. The first BLL cell is specified in the CORE command as BLL1, the next as BLL2, and so on.

CORE=BLLS

Displays the COBOL program's BLL cells.

CORE=BLXnn

Displays the BLX (external program storage) cell with relative number nn, where nn is a decimal number from 0 99. The first BLX cell is specified in the CORE command as BLX0, the next as BLL1, and so on.

CORE=BLXS

Displays the COBOL program's BLX (external program storage) cell pointers.

CORE=CLOT

Displays the CICS Life Of Task block. This area exists only after the first SQL CALL in your program (z/OS only).

CORE=CMAR

Displays the CICS EXEC Communication Area (DFHCOMMAREA) owned by the breakpointed command level CICS task.

CORE=CURR

Displays the current instruction about to be executed when the task was halted at a breakpoint.

CORE=CWK

Displays the breakpointed COBOL program's WORKING STORAGE.

CORE=DSA

Displays the breakpointed program’s Dynamic Storage Area.

CORE=EIB

Displays the EXEC Interface Block owned by the breakpointed command level task.

Note: When using the Integrated CICS translator of Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, this command will not work unless the NOLINKAGE translator option or the ADATA compiler option is specified.

CORE=EIS

Displays the EXEC Interface Structure owned by the breakpointed command level task.

CORE=FCAR

Displays the Facility Control Area. This is the TCT entry for a terminal oriented task or the DCT entry for a task initiated by a transient data trigger level.

CORE=FLPT

Displays the four doublewords where floating point registers 0 6 were saved. Use this keyword only if the save floating point registers facility was generated for CA InterTest for CICS.

CORE=ITBE

Displays the instruction that was to be executed when the task halted at the breakpoint.

CORE=LCL

Displays the breakpointed COBOL program’s LOCAL-STORAGE.

CORE=MXR

Displays the current value of the counter for CICS requests.

CORE=MXS

 

Displays the current value of the counter for the amount of CICS storage acquired by the program.

 

CORE=PREV

Displays the last executed Assembler instruction.

CORE=PREVCORE=RDIIN

Displays the Application Invocation Parameter List. The task must have issued an SQL CALL for CORE=RDIIN to function (z/OS only).

CORE=REGS

Displays the 16 fullwords where registers 0 15 are saved.

CORE=Rnn

Displays the contents of register nn prior to the breakpoint.

CORE=SQLCA

Displays the SQL Communications Area. This area contains data only after the first SQL call in your program (z/OS only).

CORE=SQLRCODE

For z/OS only: Displays the contents of SQLCODE as a decimal number and converts this value into its associated text message. Explanations of any SQL warning codes are also displayed.

For a DSNC abend, the failure code, the failing DB2 subcomponent identifier, and the subsystem termination reason code are displayed with explanations of the failure code and the subsystem identifier.

CORE=SSCR

Displays the last CICS screen displayed by your program before it stopped at the current breakpoint.

CORE=TAL

Displays the current value of the TALLY counter.

CORE=TGT

Displays the COBOL program's Task Global Table.

CORE=TIOA

Displays the first Terminal I/O Area chained to the breakpointed task.

CORE=TUAR

Displays the saved user area in the terminal table (TCT) entry of the breakpointed task. Use this keyword only if STUAR=YES was specified when CA InterTest for CICS was installed.

CORE=WKAR

Displays the CA InterTest for CICS Work Area of the breakpointed task.
