address

A hexadecimal address for a location in memory. An address can contain up to 16 hexadecimal digits. If address contains more than 8 significant hexadecimal digits, z/OS® Debugger assumes that address references 64-bit addressable storage. If address contains 7 or 8 significant hexadecimal digits, z/OS Debugger assumes that address references 31-bit addressable storage. Otherwise, z/OS Debugger assumes address references 24-bit addressable storage.

References to code (instructions) and save areas can contain no more than 8 significant hexadecimal digits.

address must have one of the following formats:

  • For all programming languages, x or X followed by apostrophes (') surrounding the hexadecimal value.
  • For C, 0x preceding the hexadecimal value.
  • For COBOL, H followed by apostrophes (') or quotation marks (") surrounding the hexadecimal value.

    For COBOL or LangX COBOL, X followed by apostrophes (') or quotation marks (") surrounding the hexadecimal value.

  • For PL/I, the hexadecimal value surrounded by apostrophes (') or quotation marks ("), followed by PX.
  • For assembler or disassembly, X followed by apostrophes (') or quotation marks (") surrounding the hexadecimal value.
