Address: Specifying the location to display

Explanation: address [:address] is a required positional parameter specifying which locations in the DFSMShsm address space to display. You can specify one address, an address range, a list of separate addresses, or a list of address ranges.

For address, substitute the absolute address or the qualified address, of the location you want to display. You specify these addresses in the following manner:

An absolute address is one to eight hexadecimal digits followed by a period (hhhhhhhh.).
A qualified address is a DFSMShsm load module name, followed sequentially by a period, a CSECT name, a period, a plus sign and one to six hexadecimal digits (loadmodulename.csectname.+hhhhhh). Because ARCCTL is the only load module that can be displayed, the load name of ARCCTL is always the load module name if you supply only the CSECT name and offset (.csectname.+hhhhhh).
Note: The leading period is still required.

The DISPLAY command considers the .MVT. control block identifier to be a valid CSECT name.

You can specify a range of addresses by specifying the optional second address [:address]. You must specify the colon (:) preceding the second address to show that you want to display a range of addresses. If you want to specify a list of separate addresses, do not use colons.

Abbreviations: None.

Defaults: None.

Note:

Because address is a required positional parameter, you must specify it immediately after the command name.
You cannot substitute indirect addressing, registers, expressions, and variable names for address.
