10.7. Using IPCS to browse storage

Another function of IPCS is the ability to browse storage locations with the dump. Although you have identified the failing instruction text and PSW in many of the displays you have reviewed, there will be many times when you will need to look at storage locations. This is achieved by selecting the BROWSE option from the IPCS primary option menu. The next panel will identify the current dump data set, and you can change this if necessary. You will usually enter this function after reviewing other information in the dump, so the requirement to change the dump data set will be unlikely.

Figure 10-18 shows an example of the IPCS browse panel.
