Display Tree

The display tree in the Display Selection menu is an intuitive way to access all of the information you need to debug your problem. The display tree is a hierarchical list of available displays. The displays are arranged in the following categories:

Formatted Displays

Intelligently formatted displays of the dump contents. Displays include analysis, source, abend help, program call trace, registers, last CICS screen, files accessed, and programs, transactions, and terminals referenced.

Task Areas

CORE displays for areas like the Commarea, the EXEC Interface Block, and the Transaction Work Area.

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

Language Areas

CORE displays for areas like COBOL working storage and COBOL BLL cells.

Database Areas

CORE displays for DB2 and DL/I.

CICS System Areas

CORE displays for areas like the Common System Area and the Common Work Area.

Each category contains a set of screens for displaying different types of information. The following is a list of the screens in each category. Each category and the screens it contains are explained later in this chapter.
