Standard Commands

Standard DUMPALL Commands lists all the commands you can use when you run DUMPALL. You can use these commands in either mode—parameter mode or interactive mode—unless otherwise noted. The phrase prints or displays indicates that in parameter mode DUMPALL prints the information on a printer. In interactive mode, DUMPALL displays the information on the remote terminal unless you include a PRINT modifier in the command.
