The DUMP command displays the contents of memory, including registers, variables, and arrays. The DUMP command formats its output in a manner similar to the DCL command DUMP. The debugger DUMP command makes no attempt to interpret the structure of aggregates. In general, when you enter a DUMP command, the debugger evaluates address-expression1 to yield a program location. The debugger then displays the entity stored at that location as follows: o If the entity has a symbolic name, the debugger uses the size of the entity to determine the address range to display. o If the entity does not have a symbolic name (and, therefore, no associated compiler-generated type) the debugger displays address-expression1 through address-expression2 (if specified). In either case, the DUMP command displays the contents of these locations as longword (by default) integer values in the current radix. The default radix for display is decimal for most languages. The exceptions are BLISS and MACRO, which have a default radix of hexadecimal. Use one of the four radix qualifiers (/BINARY, /DECIMAL, /HEXADECIMAL, /OCTAL) to display data in another radix. You can also use the SET RADIX and SET RADIX/OVERRIDE commands to change the default radix. Use one of the size qualifiers (/BYTE, /WORD, /LONGWORD, /QUADWORD) to change the format of the display. The DUMP command sets the current entity built-in symbols %CURLOC and period (.) to the location denoted by the address expression specified. Logical predecessors (%PREVLOC or the circumflex character (^)) and successors (%NEXTLOC) are based on the value of the current entity. Related command: EXAMINE
