DUMP Command The DUMP command formats and lists the contents of a trace file.
DUMP FR[OM] trace-file [ parameter ]...
trace-file
is the name of the trace file whose contents you want to list. The file you specify
must have been created by the Exchange/SNA TRACE command.
If you omit the volume name, your current default volume is used. If you omit
both the volume and subvolume names, your current default volume and
subvolume are used.
parameter
is one of the following terms:
OU[T] output-file
specifies the name of the file to receive the output of the DUMP command. If
you omit this parameter and the STEP parameter (see below for information
on the STEP parameter), the output of the DUMP command is sent to the file
specified in the OUT option of the RJECIS command that started the
Exchange/SNA command interpreter. If you omitted the OUT option on the
RJECIS command and you are running the command interpreter interactively,
the output is sent to 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 FUP
CREATE command to create the file. The DUMP command writes to the file
in 80-byte records.
If you omit the volume name, your current default volume is used. If you
omit both the volume and subvolume names, your current default volume and
subvolume are used.
You cannot include the OUT parameter and the STEP parameter in the same
DUMP command.
