A load module or phase can occupy a different area of storage each
time it is executed. To ensure that the appropriate areas of storage
are dumped, the following conventions should be observed.
If an array and a variable are to be dumped at the same time, a
separate set of arguments should be used for the array and for the
variable. The specification of limits for the array should be from
the first element in the array to the last element. For example, assume
that A is a variable in common, B is a real number, and TABLE is an
array of 20 elements. The following call to the storage dump routine
could be used to dump TABLE and B in hexadecimal format, and stop
the program after the dump is taken.
CALL DUMP(TABLE(1),TABLE(20),0,B,B,0)
If an area of storage in common is to be dumped at the same time
as an area of storage not in common, the arguments for the area in
common should be given separately. For example, the following call
to the storage dump routine could be used to dump the variables A
and B in REAL*8 format without stopping the program.
CALL PDUMP(A,A,6,B,B,6)
If variables not in common are to be dumped, each variable must
be listed separately in the argument list. For example, if R, P, and
Q are defined implicitly in the program, the following statement should
be used to dump the three variables in REAL*4 format.
CALL PDUMP(R,R,5,P,P,5,Q,Q,5)
If the following statement is used, all main storage between R
and Q is dumped, which might or might not include P, and could include
other variables.
CALL PDUMP(R,Q,5)
