NCPDUMP Service Program and How To Use It NCPDUMP is a CftS command. It processes CP spool reader files created by 3705 du.ping operations, that is, dump files that are produced as a
result of theCP NETWORK co.mand specified with the DUftP operand and
either automatic orimmediate mode.
TheNCPDUMP file processing operation can include: • Erasing a specific CMS BCPDUMP file after printing it. • Formatting the dump. • Printing the dump. • Assigning an identifier to the CMS NCPDU8P file. • Creating the CMS BCPDUMP file from the spool file.
AlthoughHCPDUMP is a efts command, its use is restricted to the user
identifiedby the SYSDUMP operand of the SYSOPER macro in DftKSYS during V8/370 system generation. The operation of HCPDU8P is similar to V8FDUMP operations. A general description of the BCPDUMP operation
follows theco.mand description.
TheNCPDUMP command has the following format: NCPDUMP I [DUMPxx] [ ([ERASE][NOFORM](MBEMOHIC][BCPBUFF][) ]] DUMPxx ERASE NOFORl! is the filename of a CMS file containing a 3104/3105 Communications Controller program dump. This dump was created by a previously invoked HCPDUMP com.and with the ERASE operand
not specified.

specifies that aformatted control block is not desired. MNEMONIC includes 3705 Assembler mnemonic operation codes in the
printed output.ICPBUFF specifies that a formatted listing of the KCP buffer pool is
desired.
TheNETWORK command invoked with the DUMPxx operand, as stated
previously, producesCP files that contain the contents of a designated
3704/3705Communications Controller unit buffer. These CP files reside
as a spooled reader input assigned to a system-designated user. TheCftS ICPDUMP command invoked by this user formats (if requested) and prints
the contents of these files.
TheNCPDUKP program creates a C!S file with a filename DUftPxx and a
filetype ofNCPDUMP, and erases the original sIooled NETWORK initiated dump reader file. The created CMS file is erased if you specify ERISE; otherwise it is kept.
Amaximum of ten du.ped spooled files can be processed and saved, and
later recalled, if necessary, by thesystem assignment of an xx identifier suffix to the CKS DUMPxx filename. The "xx" is a decimal number from 00 to 09, depending on any existing files of a similar na.e.
