Dumping a Control Block

You can display a control block using a standard dump view by placing an S in the Cmd column next to the control block item.

The following screen shows an unformatted control block:

While viewing a control block, you can enter other dump viewer commands (see the appendix "Dump Viewer Commands") to view other storage, locate data in core, add data to your keep window, update your electronic notepad, and so on. These commands create a new display level, leaving the control block display active but not visible. Ending the new display level returns you to the control block display.

Ending the control block display (using the END command or PF key) returns you to the dump tree display.
