Actual address space dump has an eye-catcher "CV" at 5th position, and then the actual data starts at 65th position. Each such record has 4096 bytes of dump data starting from 65th position. 4 bytes from position 25 represents the starting address of the dump data, and you may have to sort the dump dataset something like (25,4,CH,A) since the dump data may not be in the proper ascending order of virtual addresses.
Also for example if the 1st record has dump data representing the starting address x'00000000', and the next record has dump data representing address x'00002000' then that means the dump data starting from address x'1000' has all zeros until x'2000', and hence not captured in the dump dataset. You may have to take care of this if you wish to do something programatically. The dump may also include "Dataspace" dump which is indicated by by an indicator "DS" at position 5. You may create a dataspace, and move the dump data to dataspace so that there is 1:1 mapping between dataspace addresses and virtual addresses (4 bytes from 25th position) in the dump data. With this you could just point to the dataspace, after loading, and scan through all the control blocks that you would like to inspect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
