FWIW, I frequently use MVCIN to place eyecatchers in data structures
to avoid false hits if and when it becomes necessary to search through
a dump for the structure. For example:
MVCIN XxwaEye,=C'AWXX'+3 Put C'XXWA' in eyecatcher field
I usually do something like MVC Eye,=C'xxwa' followed by OC Eye,=CL4'
'. I like your technique better!
I don't get it, though. why
MVCIN xxwaeye,=c'AXXX'+3
instead of
MVC xxwaeye,=C'XXWA'
?
Or why do your two-step approach?
Read what Art said above starting with "... to avoid false hits ..."
Yes, I saw that. But what does it mean to get a false
hit on an eyecatcher? Do you mean looking at the code
in an editor (find command would find an MVC? - of course
then using labeled constants gets around that) or do
you mean looking at an eyecatcher in a dump? Still, is
this a common ocurrence?
Kind regards,
