Viewing Storage

The Viewed Storage folder is next in the dump tree. Initially, this folder contains no data. Entries are added after executing one of the following commands:

An entry is only added to the Viewed Storage folder when the storage address does not correspond to an existing item in the dump tree, including:

The purpose of the Viewed Storage folder is to allow easy recall of previously viewed dump storage, even across dump viewing sessions.

The following is an expanded dump tree showing viewed storage:

New storage entries are added to the top of the storage list so that they can be retrieved more easily. The Address field contains the address of the storage, and the Description field contains a comment that describes the storage.

If the storage location can be mapped to an offset within a known program, control block, or user‑defined equate, the description field provides that entity name and offset.
