DCSTATUS is a DCALGOL program that makes use of the DCSYSTEMTABLES installation intrinsic to produce run-time “snapshots” of the data comm tables maintained by the operating system and the data comm subsystem. (For further information about the DCSYSTEMTABLES installation intrinsic, refer to the DCALGOL Programming Reference Manual.)

DCSTATUS analyzes elements of the data comm. Subsystem for MCP systems.

No attempt is made in this section to interpret the results generated by the DCSTATUS program, because understanding these results requires an understanding of the Data Communications configuration.
