The diagnostic output formatter (DOF) utility formats dumps offline and online. The offline part prints a listing from real-time tape data. The online part, also referred to as the in-core dump formatter (ICDF), formats and prints system error dumps.
The offline DOF utility formats and prints real-time tape data, such as:
The offline DOF utility formats the diagnostic data read from the real-time log tape (RTA/RTL).
The online DOF utility formats and prints system error dumps when the system error routines process a dump record and the write utility determines from system error options that the dump should be printed online, rather than dumped to tape for offline processing.
For both offline and online dump processing, the DOF utility produces a listing of formatted RTA/RTL data that is printed in the following sequence:
Each individual test unit output, including simulation output, is printed as an entity
Each user input (that is, options, programs loaded, and data records) is printed at the start of the test unit's output
Both the online and offline DOF utilities format system error dumps and manual dumps with specific headings and storage labels to help you identify particular storage locations. This chapter focuses on how to use these headings and labels to read a dump. For information about:
