Description
After the Dump command is entered, the following prompt is printed on the
terminal:
(dump)
Ldev #
POrt #,#,#
DTc #
(carriage return to exit) ?
These are the subcommands that can then be entered. The following pages
describe each of these options.
If you press Enter instead of one of the subcommands, you will be
returned to the major prompt and may then enter another TermDSM command.
There are two different types of dump files:
* Information regarding a particular DTC. This information is written
to a disc file in binary form. If you need the information in the
dump analyzed, send it to your HP representative on magnetic tape.
You cannot print this file.
* Information regarding a particular logical device number or physical
port. If you need the information in this type of dump analyzed,
send it to your HP representative on magnetic tape, or in printed
form.
Information written to a disc file for this type of dump will appear in
two forms:
* A hexadecimal listing of all data.
* The ASCII representation of each byte of that data.
The file will also contain:
* The day and time of the dump.
* The type of dump (logical device number or port).
* Headings before each of the major areas of dump information.
If a dump file for an ldev number or port is to be printed, a printer
file equation with the CCTL option should be used. In the following
example, TRM123AB is the name of the dump file:
:FILE LIST;DEV=LP;CCTL
:PRINT TRM123AB.PUB.SYS,*LIST
NOTE Complete information describing the situation that necessitated the
use of DUMP is invaluable in assisting the HP representative's
analysis of TermDSM dumps. You may use the COMMENT command to help
document the situation.
