File Structure
The ANALYZE/RMS_FILE utility imposes a hierarchical tree structure on top of the internal RMS file structure. This tree structure allows you to easily wander around in the RMS file and inspect the various data structures. Each data structure in the file represents a node in the tree, with a branch for each pointer in the structure. The interactive mode of ANALYZE/RMS_FILE maintains an item called the "structure pointer". The commands allow you to move this pointer through the tree structure and examine the file.
New features
There are 3 new commands in ANALYZE/RMS_FILE in Version 4.4 of the
operating system. For more information, see the HELP for the respective
