Formatting a shared temporary storage pool dump

To format a shared temporary storage pool dump, use the IPCS STRDATA subcommand. To display the queue index list, use the STRDATA subcommand as follows:

STRDATA DETAIL LISTNUM(2) ENTRYPOS(ALL)

The key of each entry in this list is the queue name. For a small queue, the first word of the adjunct area is the total length of queue data which is included in the queue index entry; for a queue that has been converted to the large format, the first word contains zero. The second word of the adjunct area is the number of the corresponding data list if the queue has been converted to the large format, or zero otherwise.

For a small queue, the queue data is stored as the data portion of the queue index entry, with a 2-byte length prefix preceding each item.

You can display the queue data for a large queue by converting the data list number to decimal and specifying it on another STRDATA subcommand, so for example if the second word of the adjunct area is X'0000000A', the command to display the queue data is:

 STRDATA DETAIL LISTNUM(10) ENTRYPOS(ALL)

In the data list, the key of each entry is the item number, and the data portion contains the item data with a 2-byte length prefix. The rest of any data area is uninitialized and may contain residual data up to the next 256-byte boundary.

For information about the STRDATA subcommand and its options, see OS/390 MVS IPCS Commands .
