FA - Fast switching in storage display

During interactive dump analysis we need to switch easily between sidefile based storage display and storage dump display of the same area of data.

The „raw“ dump display is more suitable to inspect the program's storage areas for overlays or to grasp the content of a complex (possible large) data structure with nested occurs or which is simply unstructured, for instance an area defined with PIC X(5000).
Sometimes the data structure defined in an application does not match the real data, a frequent cause of program abends and a good reason to investigate the dump.

    Hi,

    We have enhanced the "Data Field Values" display such that the field names are now point-and-shoot fields which when selected will go to a hex storage display at the appropriate address. This enhancement was delivered in V13 PTF UI29962.

    I hope this addresses this RFE

    Regards

    Adrian Simcock
