Address space identification

ASID
Displays address space ID in hex (in parentheses) and decimal.
Type:
Minor of address space majors
Format
[X]ASIDwhere X can be:
blank
Displays both hexadecimal and decimal ASID.
D
Displays only decimal ASID.
H
Displays only hexadecimal ASID.

Address spaces are numbered beginning with the Master Scheduler at ASID 01. As z/OS® starts address spaces, they are assigned an ASID number, which z/OS uses as an internal reference.

.DMPxx
Dumps 4 hex bytes at offset xx from ASCB or User Control Block (UCB).
Type:
Minor of address space majors

This command is considered a generalized minor command because it applies to more than one group of major commands.

When you use .DMPxx with an address space major command, it displays four hex bytes at offset xx from the ASCB or the UCB.

When you use .DMPxx with a device major command, it displays four hex bytes at offset xx from the device’s UCB.

If you place the letter C in column 1, eight characters at offset xx are dumped in character format.

If you want to specify a three-digit offset, use the .DMxxx command.

PROC
Displays procedure stepname.
Type:
Minor of address space majors

PROC displays **INIT** when a batch job is moving between steps. This tells you when the CPU time figures pertain to the initiator rather than to your job.

STEP
Displays stepname.
Type:
Minor of address space majors

STEP displays **INIT** when a batch job is moving between steps. This tells you when the CPU time figures pertain to the initiator rather than to your job.
