/A[LL]
When used with /FILEHEADER, the /A[LL] qualifier displays additional information valuable to Fidelity technical support when troubleshooting GT.M problems.
/B[LOCK]=block-number
Specifies the starting block of the dump. The /BLOCK qualifier is incompatible with the /FILEHEADER qualifier.
For commands without an object qualifier, DSE uses the last block handled by a DSE operation. When no block has been accessed, (i.e., on the first block-oriented command), DSE uses block one (1).
Example:
DSE> DUMP /BLOCK=2
Block 2 Size 1B Level 0 TN 2
Rec:1 Blk 2 Off 7 Size A Cmpc 0 Ptr 8 Key ^a
7 : | A 0 0 61 0 0 8 0 0 0
| . . . a . . . . . .
Rec:2 Blk 2 Off 11 Size A Cmpc 0 Ptr B Key ^b
11 : | A 0 0 62 0 0 B 0 0 0
| . . . b . . . . . .
/C[OUNT]=count
Specifies the number of blocks, block headers, or records to DUMP. The /COUNT qualifier is incompatible with the /FILEHEADER qualifier.
/F[ILEHEADER]
Dumps file header information. The /FILEHEADER qualifier is incompatible with all other qualifiers except /ALL. A DSE dump of a database file header prints a 0x prefix for all fields printed in hexadecimal format.
Example:
DSE> DUMP /FILEHEADER

Refer to the "Greystone Database Structure" chapter for a description of the file header fields.
/G[LO]
Dumps the specified record or blocks into the current output file in Global Output (GO) format. The /GLO qualifier is incompatible with the /HEADER and /FILEHEADER qualifiers. Once you choose the /GLO format, you must exit DSE and reenter to choose the /ZWR format.
/NO[CRIT]
Allows DSE DUMP to work even if another process is holding a critical section. Since results in this mode may be inconsistent, it should only be used if the critical section mechanism is not operating normally.
/[NO]H[EADER]
Specifies whether the dump of the specified blocks or records is restricted to, or excludes, headers. /HEADER displays only the header, /NOHEADER displays the block or record with the header suppressed. DUMP without the /[NO]HEADER qualifier dumps both the block/record and the header. The /HEADER qualifier is incompatible with the /ZWR, /GLO, and /FILEHEADER qualifiers.
By default, DUMP displays all information in a block or record.
/O[FFSET]=offset
Specifies the offset, in bytes, of the starting record for the dump. If the offset does not point to the beginning of a record, DSE rounds down to the last valid record start (e.g., DUMP /OFF=10 starts at /OFF=A if that was the last record). The /OFFSET qualifier is incompatible with the /RECORD and /FILEHEADER qualifiers.
/R[ECORD]=record_number
Specifies the record number of the starting record of the dump. The /RECORD qualifier is incompatible with the /OFFSET and /FILEHEADER qualifiers.
If you try to dump a record number that is larger than the last actual record in the block, a DSE error message provides the number of the last record in the block.
/ZWR
Dumps the specified record or blocks into the current output file in ZWRITE (ZWR) format. The /ZWR qualifier is incompatible with the /HEADER and /FILEHEADER qualifiers. Once you choose the /ZWR format, you must exit DSE and reenter to choose the /GLO format.
