DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  SDA
    Invokes the System Dump Analyzer (SDA) from within the OpenVMS
    debugger without terminating a debugger session.

    Format

      SDA  [sda-command]

1  –  Parameters

 sda-command

    One SDA command to be executed before returning control to the
    OpenVMS debugger.

2  –  Description

    The SDA command allows you to use the System Dump Analyzer (SDA)
    within the debugger for the following tasks:

    o  System code debugging with the System Code Debugger (SCD)
       (Alpha and Integrity servers only)

    o  System dump analysis with the System Dump Debugger (SDD)
       (Alpha and Integrity servers only)

    o  Process dump analysis with the System Dump Analyzer (SDA)
       (Alpha and Integrity servers only)

    This gives you access to all SDA commands within the debugging
    session. When you exit SDA, you return to the same debugging
    session. Note that you do not have access to debugger commands
    within the SDA session.

                                   NOTE

       The SDA command is not available when debugging user-mode
       programs.
