Specifies an alternate system symbol table for SDA to use, for
example, if you want to analyze a crash dump taken on a processor
running a different version of OpenVMS.
/SYMBOL is ignored if it is specified with /OVERRIDE or /RELEASE.
Format:
/SYMBOL = system-symbol-table
system-symbol-table
The file specification of the SDA system symbol table required
by SDA to analyze a system dump. The specified system-symbol-table
must contain those symbols required by SDA to find certain
locations in the executive image.
If you do not specify the /SYMBOL qualifier, SDA uses
SDA$READ_DIR:SYS$BASE_IMAGE.EXE to load system symbols into the
SDA symbol table. When you specify the /SYMBOL qualifier,
SDA assumes the default disk and directory to be SYS$DISK:[ ],
that is, the disk and directory specified in your last DCL command
SET DEFAULT. If you specify a file for this parameter that is
not a system symbol table, SDA exits with a fatal error.
