When
a

running
in
multi mainframe
mode,
certain
configurations may cause jobs to wait
because of controller reservations by
another machine.
When this happens,
the disk error message specifying a

STORAGE (C,D,F,G,M) DISPLAYS
These displays show the contents of central memory (C,
D,
F, and
G
displays) and ECS memory (M display).
Each
storage display consists of four groups of either central
memory or ECS memory words, with the groups numbered
0
through
3
from top to bottom. The format of each line of
the display is:
address
octal word
display code equivalent
Central memory and ECS memory can be displayed with
absolute or relative addresses. The octal words in the C,
D, and M displays are shown in five columns of four octal
digits; words in the F and
G
displays have four columns of
five digits. The character equivalent to the display-coded
octal digits appear to the right of the octal word. Blanks
appear for any character with an octal display code above
57, as well as for display codes 00, 53, and 55.
The FR field at the top of the M display shows the contents
of the ECS flag register as of the last status. (Status is
taken once every second by the monitor.) ECS parity
errors in words on the M display are denoted by intensifying
the address and data of the words in error.
To bring the C, D, F, G, and M displays to the screens,
I
enter one of the following commands.
xy.
Brings the x and y displays to the left and right
console screens, respectively (x and yare C, D, F,
G, or M). Unless a control point memory display
has previously been selected (refer to following
command), all words displayed represent absolute
memory locations.
