ZSELD-Dump Selected Records

Use this command to start the selective file dump (SFD) debugging tool. The SFD debugging tool writes the contents of specified file records to the real-time tape.

Use the SFD debugging tool and the selective file trace (SFT) debugging tool (also referred to as the selective file dump and trace (SFDT) debugging tools) to locate file-related errors during online operations or while testing under the control of the program test vehicle (PTV) utility.

Requirements and Restrictions

None.

Format




A
indicates that the file address is expressed as a file address reference format (FARF) record type. Chained records will contain a FARF file address in the forward chain field.

N
indicates that the file address is expressed as a file address compute (FACE) program record type and ordinal number. Chained records will contain a FACE-type ordinal in the forward chain field.

S
indicates that the file address is a FACE record type and ordinal number. Chained records will contain a FARF file address in the forward chain field.

option
is one of the following dump options:

2
dumps chained records that have a standard header for 4-byte file addresses.

3
does not dump chained records.

8
dumps chained records that have a standard header for 8-byte file addresses.

hexfileaddr
is the file address of the record specified as an 8- or 16-digit hexadecimal value. You can specify up to 82 file addresses.

rectype*firstord-lastord*
is the file address specified as one or more sets of records. Each set consists of a series of file records of one FACE record type with contiguous FACE ordinal numbers, specified with a 19- or 39-byte field, where:

rectype
is the FACE record type indicator in hexadecimal characters.

firstord
is the 6- or 16-digit hexadecimal ordinal number of the first record in the set.

lastord
is the 6- or 16-digit hexadecimal ordinal number of the last record in the set.

You can specify up to 43 fields with one command. The number of records specified in a single command cannot exceed 420.

Additional Information

All output from the SFDT debugging tools is written to the real-time tape (RTL/RTA). SFD and SFT output may be interspersed with other test or control program output also on the real-time tape. Use the offline diagnostic output formatter (DOF) utility to process the SFDT output.

Examples

The following example writes the contents of the specified file record to the real-time tape.
