Short Dumps in Release 6.20
1. Displaying work areas
2. Selected variables
3. SNAP variables
4. Display languages
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Modification 1
Displaying Work Areas
The system now only displays processed work areas, and the data area directory no longer exists. Instead, only the directory of application tables is displayed, including their administration information.
Modification 2
Selected Variables
The display of selected variables has been improved. The data for all call levels is now displayed, whereas previously only the uppermost call level was displayed. A display of all active calls can be viewed under application calls.
Modification 3
SNAP Variables
The SNAP variable list contains the data for the short dump in compact form, without explanatory text. This data can be stored locally on the front end. Due to the shortened display, this format is suitable for sending, for example as an attachment in a customer problem message.
Modification 4
Display Languages
When short dumps are displayed, the system now also respects the second language, stored in the profile parameter zcsa/second_language. If no text is found, a note can be created and referred to in the standard text. The search for the short dump text is performed in the following order with respect to language version:
As soon as a text is found, the system stops the search and displays the text.
