SB (Structure Block)

The SB command displays the structure block (SB) at the specified simple address or at the simple address pointed to by the ASD number. If the address is valid and the area has the SPACEUSAGE of STRUCTUREDAREA, DUMPANALYZER analyzes the memory area as a structure block. The analysis can include both structure type descriptors and structure block instances. If the block includes a connection library environment (CLE) header, the details of the CLE header are included in the display.

The OFFSET option causes the SB contents display to be limited to items from <integer> offset to offset zero in the structure, or to the second <integer> offset if specified.

Syntax

── SB ─┬──────┬─<simple address>─┬────────────────────┬────────────────┤
       ├─ AT ─┘                  └─<offset parameter>─┤
       └─ VIA ──<ASD number>──────────────────────────┘

<offset parameter>

── OFFSET ──<simple value>─┬─────────────────────┬─────────────────────┤
                           └─ ─ ──<simple value>─┘

Explanation

The following text describes the meaning of each construct. Refer to “Basic Constructs” earlier in this section for information about the <simple address> and the VIA <ASD number> constructs.

SB <simple address> SB AT <simple address>

Analyzes the SB starting at the simple address.

SB VIA <ASD number>

Analyzes the SB located at the address pointed to by the ASD number.

SB VIA <ASD number> <offset parameter>

Analyzes the SB located at the address pointed to by the ASD number displaying the contents of cells from the offset parameter.

An <offset parameter> in the following example would display the contents of cells from offset 3F to offset 10 in the structure.

OFFSET 3 F - 10
