It's Friday, so how about an off-the-wall question I have always wondered about.
I think the answer to my question is "no", but I thought it worth asking anyway.
Standard system storage dumps (SYSUDUMP, SNAP/SNAPX, etc.) format storage
displays like this in a 121-character line:
36B219C0 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
00000000 *................................*
Obviously there are many ways to produce such a line in your language of choice, but is
there any available interface to the system routines that display storage in this format?
Not the I/O to print them or send them to a file, just the "storage dump formatting
into a print line" part.
I am of course assuming that the storage formatting routine has been rendered in some
common-code subroutine used by all (or some of) the "dumping" routines, which
may or may not be a fact.
TIA for your answer even it (as I strongly suspect) the answer is "no".

Peter,
You could call IPCS to display the storage you want.
