Formatting Options
Formatting Options
NMDUMP allows you to modify formatting options for specified
subsystem IDs. There are three ways to change the formatting menu
options.
1. Most options toggle between two possible values, like YES or NO and
ON or OFF.
2. Some require you to enter an option number which then displays an
additional menu and prompt.
3. Several options prompt you to enter the numbers of certain items.
The following tables show the options for logging and tracing. Some
logging and tracing options also have filters you can specify.
You may type // at any of the main NMDUMP prompts to exit the
program. If NMDUMP is displaying a subsystem menu, you must press
[RETURN] to exit the menu and return to the main NMDUMP prompt
before typing // to exit the program.
You may also type “Help” at any of the main NMDUMP prompts for help
text.
See Table 7-1 for a description of general options.
