Parameter 

 ldevnum 

The logical device number associated with the device whose data you want
to dump.

Description 

Information associated with the logical device number is dumped to a disc
file.  Since the ldev is also associated with a port, information
pertaining to the port is also dumped.  Therefore, if you have identified
a terminal problem and dump information using the ldev subcommand,
complete information about the terminal connection is dumped; there is no
need to also use the PORT subcommand.


NOTE Dumping information pertaining to a logical device number does not reset (or otherwise affect) the associated device. If you need to reset the device, use the RESET command.
When the dump is complete, the following information will be displayed: The dump file is TRM dddll.PUB.SYS where ddd is the Julian day of the year and ll is a two-letter string in the range: AA, AB, AC,..., BA, BB, BC,..., ZZ This numbering system allows you to create many dump files in one day and to later know on what day each dump was created by simply looking at the file name. The dump prompt is then repeated so that you may enter another dump subcommand. Example (dump) Ldev # POrt #,#,# DTc # (carriage return to exit) ?L 41 The dump file is TRM112AG.PUB.SYS (dump) Ldev # POrt #,#,# DTc # (carriage return to exit) ? Information for ldev 41 is placed in the file TRM112AG.PUB.SYS.
