F5 Key - Edit (Real/Virtual)
Press the F5 key to display VIRTUAL STORAGE. The
virtual storage display overlays the real 370 storage display.

hardware table that maps virtual addresses to real addresses.
The PAT edit screen data overlays the 370 storage edit data.
Pressing the F4 key again causes the storage edit data to be
displayed again.
The PAT edit format has a column of virtual addresses on
the far left of the screen, followed by columns of the
corresponding real addresses, the valid bits, the reference
bits, and the change bits respectively. For further
information on the PAT, see the "IBM Personal Computer
XT /370 Technical Manual," and the section on Dynamic
Address Translation in the "370 Principles of Operations."
You should only alter the PAT data if you absolutely know
what you're doing. Virtual storage management is a function
of the 370 operating system. Altering this data could cause
unpredictable results.

address you've entered. To use this function, enter the

address, but may type any non-valid hexadecimal character
