Itemize Deadstart Tape

After creating a Deadstart Tape, you may find that things don't quite work the way you intended. It is frequently useful to examine the contents of the deadstart tape and the itemize command is a valuable means of doing that using the running console.

From the console:

CYBER Console

X.DIS. COMMON,SYSTEM. ITEMIZE,SYSTEM. ROUTE,OUTPUT. DROP.

The best way to enter console commands when using Kevin Jordan enhanced version of dtCyber is to use the enter_keys feature which helps to overcome the challenges of the console's odd behavior of dropping keystrokes.

CDC Terminal

Wait until the message “ITEMIZE COMPLETE.” is displayed. HH:MM:SS [CYBER Console A] Operator> ek route,output. HH:MM:SS [CYBER Console A] Operator> ek drop. HH:MM:SS [CYBER Console A] Operator>
