The snapshot function provides detailed information on one particular Adabas command, DL/I call, SQL statement or VSAM call.
This section covers the following topics:
This snapshot function interrupts program execution after executing the first Adabas command that matches the selection criteria specified in the DBLOG Menu. The Snapshot Report (see the following example screen) generated for the specified Adabas command is displayed immediately after program interruption.
The snapshot function automatically logs all Adabas buffers. Therefore, you do not have to mark any of the optional buffers in the DBLOG Menu before you start the snapshot function. The default Snapshot Report displays the control block (CB), which is either the classic control block (ACB) or the extended Adabas control block (ACBX).
This section covers the following topics:
To invoke the Snapshot Report screen for Adabas
commands
In the DBLOG Menu, specify an Adabas command
and additional criteria, if desired, and enter function code
S.
The message DBLOG snapshot facility started
now is displayed.
Execute a Natural program which contains the Adabas command specified in the DBLOG Menu.
The program stops executing and a Snapshot Report screen similar to the example below appears:

The Snapshot Report screen shows the control block (CB) by default. If you want to display different Adabas buffers or scroll through a report, choose the appropriate PF key or, in the Command line, enter its equivalent direct command described in this section.
The availability of a PF key depends on the buffer currently displayed. If a buffer extends beyond the screen or contains multiple format/record buffers, PF keys required to scroll through the buffer are provided on the screen.
| PF Key | Direct Command | Buffer |
|---|---|---|
| PF4 | CB |
Displays the control block. This is the default. |
| PF5 | FB |
Displays the format buffer. |
| PF6 | RB

Displays the record buffer (RB) or
scrolls (--) to the beginning of a long buffer.
|
| PF7 | - |
Scrolls up one page in a long buffer. |
| PF8 | + |
Scrolls down one page in a long buffer |
| PF9 | SB
or ++ |
Displays the search buffer (SB) or scrolls
(++) to the end of a long buffer.
|
| PF10 | VB
or < |
Displays the value buffer (VB). For multiple
format/record buffers, shows the previous (<) record/format
buffer.
|
| PF11 | IB

Displays the ISN buffer (IB). For multiple
format/record buffers, shows the next (>) record/format
buffer.

For information on the fields displayed in a control block or buffer, see Displaying Adabas Buffers.
This snapshot function generates the
Snapshot
Report (see the following example screen) of the first
DL/I call that matches the selection criteria specified in the DBLOG
Menu. A snapshot does not interrupt the program flow. The snapshot
data is kept in the Natural DBLOG buffer to be displayed only if the user
enters the appropriate DBLOG command as described
below.
This section covers the following topics:
To invoke the Snapshot Report screen for DL/I

In the DBLOG Menu, specify a DL/I call and
additional criteria, if desired, and enter function code S.
The message DBLOG snapshot facility started

The following information is provided on the Snapshot Report screen for DL/I calls:
the PSB (Program Specification Block) Name
the PCB (Program Communication Block) Number
the PCB mask, which consists of the following:
DBD (Database Description) including Database Name
Segment Level number
Statuscode
Processing Options
Segment Name
Length of KFBA (Key Feedback Area)
Number of SENSGs (Sensitive Segments)
KFBA:
Key Feedback Area
Number of SSAs (Segment Search Argument)
all SSAs
the I/O Area
The first 120 bytes of the Key Feedback Area, of all SSAs (up to 15 SSAs are possible) and of the I/O area are displayed, both in decimal and hexadecimal format.
The DBD Name in the PCB is used to read the corresponding NDB (Natural equivalent of DBD) from the Natural FDIC system file. In this NDB, the segment whose name is given in the PCB is located and its minimum/maximum length and segment level number are displayed. The segment level number should match the number in the PCB. In this way, it is possible to detect inconsistencies between Natural NDBs and DL/I DBDs.
The PSB name is used to read the corresponding NSB (Natural equivalent of PSB) from the Natural FDIC system file. From this NSB, the number of sensitive segments is displayed. This number should match the number in the PCB. In this way, it is possible to detect inconsistencies between Natural NSBs and DL/I PSBs.
The snapshot function checks whether the DL/I DBD/PSB and the Natural NDB/NSB contain the same values in the fields Level Number and Number of SENSEGs. The same values, however, do not necessarily ensure that the DL/I DBD/PSB and the Natural NDB/NSB are fully consistent.
In the example above, the values in the Number of SENSEGs fields are different, because the Natural NATPSB procedure was not executed after the PSB had been changed by the DL/I PSBGEN procedure.
The snapshot function generates the Snapshot Report (see the following example screen) of the first SQL statement that matches the selection criteria specified in the DBLOG Menu. A snapshot does not interrupt the program flow.
Unlike the statements displayed with the DBLOG trace function, the snapshot shows the statement in its entirety (limited to 13 lines).
The snapshot data is kept in the Natural DBLOG buffer to be displayed
only if the user enters the appropriate DBLOG
command as described below.
This section covers the following topics:
To invoke the Snapshot Report screen for SQL
statements
In the DBLOG Menu, specify an SQL statement and
additional criteria, if desired, and enter function code S.
The message DBLOG snapshot facility started
