Under the covers, IPCS is really just AMDPRDMP. There is likely a subroutine inside AMDPRDMP that formats the print line. Whether that subroutine is callable from another program is an open question: it might have an external symbol in the link map of AMDPRDMP that one can alias, but then again it might not. I am not sure what Peter's original message was about, in terms of objective. I assume he wants to be able to format a dump of storage from inside a program. If such a program is written in PL/I, one can use the HEXIMAGE() and TRANSLATE() built-in functions to build the hexadecimal digits and dots/characters, with the the asterisks and spaces easily inserted. There is even a PLIDUMP() built-in subroutine that can dump areas directly, just like a SNAP macro. If for some reason one cannot use PL/I, that is not of much use. Since PL/I uses LE for much of its run-time support, there is likely a CEEDUMP() subroutine one can use from other languages: RTFM! -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* david.w.n...@googlemail.com (David W Noon) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
