Db_dump
The db_dump utility enables you to get a listing of all of the database fields for a channel. This utility is useful for checking the fields in a database when you are working from a nongraphics terminal (one on which the db_view utility cannot be brought up).
To run db_dump
-
Enter the following at the system prompt:
db_dump <parameter>
Parameter
Db_dump allows a channel to be specified at the command line; if no channel is specified, db_dump prompts you for a channel.
