Exchange/RJE Manual
DUMP Command
Exchange/RJE Commands
104698 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–17
O[CTAL]
lists the trace records in octal. Each word (16 bits) is listed as six octal
digits.
If you omit the MODE parameter, only the length of each trace record (one
block sent or received) is listed. No data or control characters are listed.
O[UT]
output-file
specifies the name of the file where you want to write the output of the DUMP
command. If you omit this parameter and the STEP parameter, the default file
is the file specified in the OUT option of the RJECIR command that started the
Exchange/RJE command interpreter. If you omitted the OUT option on the
RJECIR command and you are running the command interpreter interactively,
the default file is the home terminal.
If you specify a disk file (as opposed to a spooler location, for example), the
file must already exist. It must be an unstructured file. You can use the File
Utility Program (FUP) CREATE command to create the file. See the File Utility
Program (FUP) Reference Manual for information on how to use the FUP
CREATE command. The DUMP command writes to the file in 80-byte
records.
If you omit the volume name, the default volume is your current default
volume. If you omit both the volume and subvolume names, the default
volume and subvolume are your current default volume and subvolume.
You cannot include the OUT parameter and the STEP parameter (see below) in
the same DUMP command.
STA[RT]
begin
[ /
end
]
specifies the range of trace records to list.
begin
and
end
are sequence
numbers of records in the trace file. If you omit
end
, the range ends with the
last record in the trace file.
If the trace captured more records than the trace file can hold at once, earlier
records were overwritten by later records and the first record no longer has a
sequence number of 1. You can use STEP mode to see the sequence number of
the first record. For more information on the overwriting of records in the
trace file, see the TRACE command later in this section.
If you omit this parameter, the whole trace file is listed.
