is the last six hexadecimal digits of the DTC’s LAN address and c is a
character in the range from A to Z. The ddd is the Julian day of the year and ll is a
two-character string in the range:
AA, AB, AC, ..., BA, BB, BC, ..., ZZ
This numbering system allows you to create many dump files in one day and to later
know on what day each dump was created by simply looking at the file name.
If you need to send dump information to HP to have it analyzed, make sure that you
send both dump files.
NOTE If all 26 (suffix A through Z) DTC dump files already exist, one will be overwritten by the
current DTC dump. If you are doing a lot of DTC dumps, you may wish to store off or
rename some dump files to preserve them.
DU[MP] LD[EV]
Captures data pertaining to a specific logical device number and writes it to a disk file.
Security level: 2.
Syntax
LD[EV]
ldevnum
Parameter
ldevnum
The logical device number associated with the device whose data you
want to dump.
Description
Information associated with the logical device number is dumped to a disk file. Since the
ldev is also associated with a port, information pertaining to the port is also dumped.
Therefore, if you have identified a terminal problem and dump information using the
ldev subcommand, complete information about the terminal connection is dumped; there
is no need to also use the PORT subcommand.
NOTE Dumping information pertaining to a logical device number does not reset (or otherwise
affect) the associated device. If you need to reset the device, use the RESET command.
When the dump is complete, the following information will be displayed:
The dump file is TRM
dddll
.PUB.SYS
where ddd is the Julian day of the year and ll is a two-letter string in the range:
AA, AB, AC, ..., BA, BB, BC, ..., ZZ
This numbering system allows you to create many dump files in one day and to later
know on what day each dump was created by simply looking at the file name.
The dump prompt is then repeated so that you may enter another dump subcommand.
