A symbol is simply a label used to identify a storage address within a dump. Some symbols are built-in for every dump, and others can be user-defined.
Once defined, a symbol may be used as part (or all) of the address argument for any DUMP, MAP, DISASSEM, or EQUATE command. The symbol is automatically replaced by its assigned value during address resolution.
Use the EQUATE command to define a symbol, assign it to a storage location, and optionally identify a map name for Auto-Mapping. Whenever a dump is loaded, built-in symbols are provided for the PSW, registers, and current TCB address. All of the built-in and user-defined symbols are stored in your profile and are preserved across viewing sessions.
Use the SYMBOLS command to list the currently defined symbols, and use the DROP command to remove a previously defined symbol.
