            _C_a_l_l_i_n_g _I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n

                 subroutine dsdbiu (block, form)
                 pointer block
                 character form

                 Library:  vswtlb (standard Subsystem library)


            _F_u_n_c_t_i_o_n

                 'Dsdbiu'  is  called  by  'dsdump' to dump the contents of a
                 block of storage that has been allocated  by  'dsget'.   The
                 first  argument  is  a  pointer  to the control words of the
                 block; the second is LETTER for a character dump, DIGIT  for
                 a numeric dump.

                 This routine is technically not available for direct call by
                 the  user,  since  the  format and location of block control
                 words is subject to change.


            _I_m_p_l_e_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n

                 The SIZE control word of the block is  read  to  obtain  the
                 size of the block, and that many words are written to ERROUT
                 via  'print'  in the particular format specified.  The first
                 argument is incremented to point to the end of the block.
