Hexadecimal product activity log data

Use the display hexadecimal report function or follow the steps in this procedure to display hexadecimal error log dump data.

To display hexadecimal error log dump data, complete these steps:

Find an entry in the product activity log for the system reference code (SRC) you are using to locate the problem.
1. Select System Service Tools (SST).
  If you cannot get to SST, select DST.
  
  Note: Do not use an IPL of the system to get to DST.
2. On the Service Tools display, select the Start a service tool option.
3. Select the Product activity log option on the Start a Service Tool display.
4. Select the Analyze log option on the Product Activity Log display.
5. On the Select Subsystem Data display, select the option to view All Logs.
  Note: If the SRC you are using occurred more than 24 hours ago, change the From and To Dates and Times from the 24-hour default.
6. Use the defaults on the Select Analysis Report Options display by pressing the Enter key.
7. Find the entry in the product activity log that matches that SRC.

Select the Display Detail Report for Resource display. (See the following figures.)

Are offsets 170 - 173 equal to 00000000?
- Yes: Continue with step 5.
- No: Continue with step 6.

Page forward until you locate the offset location X'000180'.

If the rightmost hexadecimal digit of offset 000182 is 8, then the unit address is hexadecimal offset 18C - 18F.

If the rightmost hexadecimal digit of offset 000182 is 2, then the unit address is hexadecimal offset 192 - 195

Record this address information. Return to the procedure that sent you here, if one.

Using hexadecimal arithmetic, add the value in offsets 170 - 173, the value in offsets 174 - 177, and 00000002. For example, 000001C8 + 00000410 + 00000002 = 000005DA.
If the value of the rightmost hexadecimal digit at this offset is 8: Using hexadecimal arithmetic, add 0000000A to the offset you calculated. This will be the location of the unit address in the form abcdefgh. For example, 00005DA + 0000000A = 000005E4.

If the value of the rightmost hexadecimal digit at this offset is 2: Using hexadecimal arithmetic, add 00000010 to the offset you calculated. This will be the location of the unit address in the form abcdefgh. For example, 00005DA + 00000010 = 000005EA.

Record this address information. If you were sent here from another procedure, return to the procedure that sent you here.

This ends the procedure.
