DATAPRINT: Print/Dump Data Storage Blocks

The ADAICK DATAPRINT function prints (and dumps) the Data Storage blocks for specified RABNs. In the output, when a spanned record RABN is requested, the record is identified as a primary ("Primary ISN") or secondary ("AC2 ISN") record. In addition, the master ISN (the primary ISN of the spanned record) and the next ISN number are listed. The next ISN number is always the next secondary record ISN (zero if it is the last record).

The phrase "ERRORSPAN*" may appear in the output if the spanned Data Storage record is not flagged correctly with the primary or secondary ISN bit set. This will be indicated with a condition code of "4".

Optional Parameter

NOUSERABEND: Termination without Abend

When a parameter error or a functional error occurs while this utility function is running, the utility ordinarily prints an error message and terminates with user abend 34 (with a dump) or user abend 35 (without a dump). If NOUSERABEND is specified, the utility will not abend after printing the error message. Instead, the message "utility TERMINATED DUE TO ERROR CONDITION" is displayed and the utility terminates with condition code 20.

Note:
When NOUSERABEND is specified, we recommend that it be specified as the first parameter of the utility function (before all other parameters). This is necessary to ensure that its parameter error processing occurs properly.
