cckddiag - Hercules CCKD DASD diagnostic tool
cckddiag [options...] filename
Hercules support tool used to assist in the diagnosis of CCKD DASD problems.
Operates on Hercules CCKD DASD volumes in read-only mode, and displays various
information contained in CCKD DASD files. Effective usage requires internal
knowledge of Hercules CCKD DASD files.
The following options are used to specify which portions of the CCKD DASD file
are to be displayed. Options may not be combined; for example, -cd1 is not a
valid option. Surround each option by blank(s).
Argument numbers may be specified either in decimal or
hexadecimal. If the number begins with the characters 0x the number is
presumed to be hexadecimal; else the number is presumed to be decimal. No
numeric overflow checking is done, the user is assumed (!) to know what
they're doing.
Options are divided into three categories: global options,
track-related options, and the offset option.
specifies the Hercules CCKD DASD filename (sometimes referred to as the DASD
image file)
display L1TAB (note this option is a numeric one)
To direct cckddiag to a specific track, two options are provided: -a and -r. The
remaining track-related options describe the kind of output desired. The
TRKHDR for the track is displayed for all track-related options.
display absolute CCHH data - where cc and hh are
respectively the cylinder number (relative zero), and the head number
(relative zero).
display relative track data - where tt is the track number
(relative zero).
display L2TAB - requires a corresponding -a or -r specification to direct
cckddiag to a specific track.
display track data - displays the COUNT, KEY, and DATA record summaries for the
data residing on the indicated track.
hex display track key/data - displays the KEY and DATA records' contents in
hexadecimal display format for the indicated track. Some repetitive data may
be omitted from the hex display output.
This option provides the ability to examine any portion of the CCKD file, as an
alternative to track specification.
