IDATB-Build Selective Memory Dump Table

Use this system macro as the repository for all information about the selective memory dump table (SMDT). This macro contains a set of IDATG macro calls, each of which defines a unique parameter and its associated main storage area. The IDATB macro can be used anywhere in the TPF system to obtain information about the large data areas defined to the TPF system that are not normally included in a dump of system storage.

Format




label
A symbolic name can be assigned to the macro statement.

FUNC
One of four values can be assigned:

SMDT
This option is used by copy member CPST of the CCCPSE CSECT to actually construct the selective memory dump table in main storage.

EQUATES
This option is used by the IDOTB macro and the system initializer (CCCTIN) to generate a set of equates, one for each parameter. It is used by IDOTB so that the assembler will recognize the values specified for the INCLUDE parameter. It is used by the system initializer (CCCTIN) to access the correct SMDT entry for a specific parameter so that the starting and ending address pairs for a particular parameter can be stored in the entry.

EBCDIC
This option is used by the ZIDOT command processor to construct a table linking EBCDIC values to SMDT index values and uniqueness indicators. The table is mapped by the IDSEBC macro.

DEFAULTS
This option is used by the ZIDOT command processor to construct a default bitmap with bits already set on for values defined as REQUIRED=YES on the IDATG macro calls.

Entry Requirements

None.

Return Conditions

None.
