Browsing the PDA data set

Examples: These examples, obtained by using the ISPF browse function and the HEX DATA command, aid you in identifying the trace entries when you are discussing the PDA trace data set with the IBM® Level 2 support group:

The following example shows a portion (four entries) of a PDA trace data set as it would appear on your terminal screen, just before you issue the HEX DATA command.

Note: The file name (in this example, HSM.PDOX) is set by you in your startup procedure.

   BROWSE -- HSM.PDOX ------------------------------- LINE
   COMMAND ===> HEX DATA

  LOCK .ENQ  ..D....ARCGPA  ..BAKQ..E..L......................
  UNLK .DEQ  ..D....ARCGPA  ..BAKQ..L.........................
  MCTL .ENTR ..D.N..........Y.
  IRCB .ENTR ..D.U.....H.MCTL

The following example shows the same data set as in the previous example, after issuing the HEX DATA command. Note that the display has expanded and each entry is now shown in EBCDIC and hexadecimal notation.

   BROWSE -- HSM.PDOX ------------------------------- LINE
   COMMAND ===>

  LOCK .ENQ  ..D....ARCGPA  ..BAKQ..E..L......................

For simplicity, the remaining examples show only the first entry.
