Display additional debug options.

-EXPERT

Display an additional help panel that describes the expert operands.

-ASCII

arguments:

image

The file name (and optionally path) of the DASD image file.

shadowfile

The optional name (and path) of an associated shadow file.

filespec

The name of a sequential dataset (DSORG=PS) on the DASD image file. This
name is also used as filename for the extracted data.

All expert facilities (as described in the -EXPERT help panel) are experimental and are therefore not yet
described here.
