Displaying and modifying memory through the Memory window

z/OS® Debugger can display sections of memory through the Memory window. You can open the Memory window and have it display a specific section of memory by doing one of the following options:

  • Entering the MEMORY command and specifying a base address. If the Memory window is already displayed through a physical window, the memory dump area displays memory starting at the base address.

    If the Memory window is not displayed through a physical window, the base address is saved for usage later when the Memory window is displayed through a physical window.

    To display the Memory window through a physical window, use the WINDOW SWAP MEMORY LOG command or PANEL LAYOUT command.

  • Assigning the MEMORY command to a PF key. After you assign the MEMORY command to a PF key, you can move the cursor to a variable, then press the PF key. If the Memory window is already displayed through a physical window, the memory dump area displays memory starting at the base address. If the Memory window is not displayed through a physical window, the base address is saved for usage later when the Memory window is displayed through a physical window.

    To display the Memory window through a physical window, use the WINDOW SWAP MEMORY LOG command or PANEL LAYOUT command.
