The SRC record structure provides information about the machine at the time of
the failure.
For models 150, 170, 250, 4xx, 50x, 51x, 530, 53S, 6xx, 7xx, SB1, S10, S20, S30, and
S40, SRCs may consist of up to nine “data words”. A word (a word = 4 bytes of
sequential data) consists of 8 hexadecimal characters (0-9 or A-F). The function
number corresponds to the function on the control panel or Work with Partition
Status display that shows the specific word of the SRC. For these systems the word
number corresponds to the function number. For example, only word 1 (previously
called word 11 to match the function number) of the SRC appears in function 11.
See Table 37.
Models 270, 8xx, SB2, and SB3
Models 270, 8xx, SB2, and SB3 have a larger control panel than previous models.
They can display up to four words at a time. In addition, the first word of the SRC
can consist of ASCII or hexadecimal characters. The other eight words of the SRC
still consist of hexadecimal data. Function 11 still displays the first word of the
SRC, which can contain 8 to 32 characters (expanded word 1). In the Product
Activity Log (PAL) and other software displays, the SRC appears much like it does
for earlier releases, except for the possibility of word 1 containing up to 32
characters. Words display as a number from 1 to 9 instead of 11 to 19, thus
disassociating the word number from the function number. Refer to Chapter 3,
“Product Activity Log” on page 99 for more information on the PAL and SAL.
Refer to Table 37 to see the new format.
