SYMDEF subcommand — display an entry in the system symbol table

Use the SYMDEF subcommand to display an entry in the system symbol table, which contains static system symbols. You can use IPCS-supplied traps with the SYMDEF command.

Note:

SYMDEF displays the static system symbols in the system symbol table, which are specified (or the defaults accepted) in the IEASYMxx parmlib member. System symbols are different from the IPCS symbols described in IPCS symbols.
The output that SYMDEF generates contains information for diagnostic use. The IBM® Support Center might ask you to provide this information for use in problem determination.
