Browsing your user storage
You can use Memory Browse to display your user storage in dump format.
As you review your data, Z Data Tools saves up to 64 browse addresses in a pointer chain. You can move forwards and backwards through this chain, to return to previously visited areas.
To view your user storage:
- Perform either of these actions:
- From the Utility Functions menu, select option 8 Storage.
- From any panel in Z Data Tools, enter the MB primary command.
The Memory Browse panel, shown in Memory Browse panel, is displayed.
- Scroll through your storage area, using any of the following techniques.
- Use the DOWN (F8), UP (F7), TOP and BOTTOM commands. The areas reviewed using these commands are not saved in your pointer chain.
- Enter a location, in hexadecimal format, into the Browse address field and then enter the NEXT command. This sets a new browse address and saves the current browse address to the chain.
- Place the cursor onto a pointer value visible on the screen and then enter the NEXT command. This sets a new browse address and saves the current browse address to the chain.
- Enter a FIND command on the Command line. This sets a new browse address and saves the current browse address to the chain.
- Check that your cursor is not on a data field, then enter the NEXT or BACK commands without parameters to move through existing addresses in your chain.
- You can use the Search limit field to restrict the area searched.
