Accessing CODB from COD0

You can access CODB from the COD0 transaction using the DUMP command or by entering a D in a selection field, when allowed.

When you exit CODB (by issuing the END command) you are returned to the COD0 transaction.

There are some advantages to using COD0 to enter CODB:
  • The DUMP command translates a method name into its entry addresses so you can dump or alter method code.
  • From the LIST TASK screen you can dump individual stacks, MALs, OPBs, and OSSBs, for example.
  • You can dump allocated resources (as defined by the ALLOC command) by name, and COD0 translates them into ALET/OFFSETS, ADDRESSES, or TOKENS, as required.
  • You do not need to know the exact ALET/OFFSET or ADDRESS of the area you are dumping.
