DUMP
The MPE/iX utility DUMP takes a snapshot or dump of system memory. It helps you, or HP
support personnel, track down problems in system operation. To use, first request a non
destructive boot; this saves the machine's hardware state. Then enter the DUMP command;
this lets DUMP take control and dump the processor internal memory, main memory, and all
allocated secondary storage marked as dumpworthy.

EDIT/3000
EDIT/3000 creates and manipulates ASCII files. Use EDIT/3000 commands to insert,
delete, replace, modify, search for, and manipulate individual characters, strings of
characters, or entire lines of characters. EDIT/3000 can be run in interactive or batch
mode.

FCOPY
Use FCOPY to copy and translate files. You identify the input file and output file. You can
request one or more optional functions, such as converting data, copying files from other
systems, appending files, extracting subsets of files, or displaying binary files in ASCII
format.
The FCOPY utility can be copied from the HFS directories into accounts and groups. Files
can be opened from HFS directories into existing files in other HFS directories.
FCOPY FROM= filename ;TO= filename [; options ]
In the following example, the file /dir1/doc/print.es is copied to the file myfile in the
PUB group of the SYS account.
FILE FOO=/dir1/doc/print.es|FCOPY from=*FOO; to=myfile.pub.sys|
FSCHECK
The file system check utility (FSCHECK) is a native mode program for detecting and
repairing inconsistencies found in the file directories and file label tables of the MPE/iX
operating systems. It also provides the additional ability to query and display various
attributes of these objects. It is a standalone utility and should be the only program
running on the system when it is in use.
