system.debugger.w

Command/System Debugger, Releases: AP 6.1

Specifies hexadecimal display format.

Syntax

w{data.reference.specification}

Description

displays subsequent output in hexadecimal words.

The 'w' is a formatting specification in the system debugger similar to the 'x' format. However, the 'w' format prints the data as 2 byte 'words' instead of bytes. This means that on Intel platforms, data will be un-byte-swapped so that it can be displayed in a human-readable format.

To indicate that the 'w' format is in effect, brackets are displayed around the data.

To force input data to be entered by words, use the '[' modifier before the data.

When the 'w' format is in effect, the '[' modifier is assumed when entering hexadecimal input.

The 'w' format may also be specified for traces.

Example

Assume the following occurs on an Intel platform:
debug
!/r11 .00002c010000151e=w
1557.158 [.0000012c00001e15]=
!x/t0 .e400=w
1557.e [.00e4]=[.0102]
!x/t0 .0201=w
1557.e [.0102]=.0304
!w/t0 [.0304]=
!tw/t0+ 1557.e
!e on
!g
E tcl1:01c
1557.e [.0102]
!end
