Debug Commands
Debug Manual—421921-003
4-3
A Command
A Command
The A command displays the contents of a process’ variables in ASCII representation.
The syntax for this command:
address
is the address of the first character to be displayed. For more information, see
Address Syntax on page 3-12.
length
specifies the number of 16-bit words to be displayed by Debug and must be one of
the following:
count
is an expression designating the number of 16-bit words to be displayed.
T entry-size * num-entries
specifies that the display is to be in table format. The entry-size *
num-entries parameter is an expression specifying the number of 16-bit
words to be displayed. The display consists of num-entries blocks, each
block consisting of entry-size words.
If you omit length, one 16-bit word is displayed.
data-display-format
specifies the format options in which data is displayed. The data-display-
format has this format:
{ B | B1 | C | B2 | S | B4 | L }
[OUT] output-dev
specifies where the display is directed. Debug output can be directed to an output
device, a process, or a spooler collector. Debug output cannot be directed to a disk
file. If you omit output-dev, Debug assumes the home terminal.
output-dev has these formats:
A address [ , length ] [, data-display-format ]
[ , [ OUT ] output-dev ]
B|B1|C display data in character format.
B2|S display characters in 2-byte groups representing a 16-bit word. This
is the default format option.
B4|L display characters in 4-byte groups representing a 32-bit word.
