yy/mm/dd.
• Comment lines (specified by the NAME entry in
CMRDECK) •.

• Control point to which the CPU is assigned.
• Status of the channels.
• Amount of central memory and ECS memory

In addition, at the bottom of the right screen, each

headers, respectively. All other displays illustrated in this
section are shown without a header.
DAYFILE (A) DISPLAYS
The system saves five types' of dayfiles. The system
dayfile contains the system history. The account dayfile
keeps the accounting record for further processing (for
example, customer billing). The error log dayfile records
system error messages, such as disk errors. Control point
dayfiles record the operations of each job. The binary
maintenance log dayfile records information used in
Control Data maintenance. You cannot display the binary
maintenance log dayfile.
To bring the system, account, or error log dayfile to the
screen, type one of the following:
DSD Command

A,ACCOUNT FILE.
A,ERROR LOG.

following DSD commands:

Only the most recent dayfile messages appear on the A

to the beginning of the dayfile buffer by entering the DSD

If
the A display is not currently selected, this command
resets the system dayfile to the beginning of the dayfile
buffer and brings it to the left console screen.
