If you need the information in the dump analyzed, send it to your HP
representative on magnetic tape.
Information written to a disk file for this type of dump will appear in
two forms:
• A hexadecimal listing of all data.
• The ASCII representation of each byte of that data.
The file will also contain:
• The day and time of the dump.
• The type of dump (logical device number or port).
• Headings before each of the major areas of dump information.
If a dump file for an ldev number or port is to be printed, a printer file
equation with the CCTL option should be used. In the following
example, TRM123AB is the name of the dump file:
:FILE LIST;DEV=LP;CCTL
:PRINT TRM123AB.PUB.SYS,*LIST
NOTE Complete information describing the situation that necessitated the use
of DUMP is invaluable in assisting the HP representative’s analysis of
TermDSM dumps. You may use the COMMENT command to help
document the situation.
