CODB commands
Any CODB command shown on the menu, or its associated number, is valid at any time.
Some commands (such as MODB and MOEB) display a submenu listing the component
ID and the address of the requested control block, if it can be located. The
command name remains displayed until it is replaced by a new command, or a
memory display is requested.
