DEPOSIT
The DEPOSIT command deposits data into the address specified. If you do not specify an
address space or data size qualifier, the console uses the last address space and data size
used in a DEPOSIT, EXAMINE, MOVE, or SEARCH command. After processor
initialization, the default address space is physical memory, the default data size is
longword, and the default address is zero. If you specify conflicting address space or data
sizes, the console ignores the command and issues an error message.
Format:
DEPOSIT [qualifier-list] {address} {data} [data...]
Qualifiers:
Data control: /B, /W, /L, /Q, /N:{count}, /STEP:{size}, /WRONG
Address space control: /G, /I, /M, /P, /V, /U
Arguments:
{address} A longword address that specifies the first location into which
data is deposited. The address can be an actual address or a
symbolic address.
{data} The data to be deposited. If the specified data is larger than the
deposit data size, the firmware ignores the command and issues
an error response. If the specified data is smaller than the
deposit data size, the data is extended on the left with zeros.
[{data}] Additional data to be deposited (as many as can fit on the
command line).
Examples:

>>>
D/V/L/N:3 1234 5
! Deposit 5 into four longwords
! starting at virtual memory address
! 1234.
>>>
D/N:8 R0 FFFFFFFF
! Loads GPRs R0 through R8 with -1.
>>>
D/L/P/N:10/ST:200 0 8
