Specifies an alternate system symbol table for SDA to use.

    Format

      ANALYZE/SYSTEM/SYMBOL=system-symbol-table

    system-symbol-table

    On Alpha systems, file specification of the OpenVMS Alpha 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.

    On Alpha systems, 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$DISK and
    [default-dir]; that is, the disk and directory specified in your
    last SET DEFAULT command.  If no device and directory are given
    in the file name and the file is not found in the current default
    directory, SDA attempts to open the file SDA$READ_DIR:filename.type.
    If no type has been given in the file name, SDA assumes .EXE. If
    you specify a file for this parameter that is not a system symbol
    table, SDA halts with a fatal error.

    On VAX systems, 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.

    On VAX systems, if you do not specify the /SYMBOL qualifier, SDA
    uses SYS$SYSTEM:SYS.STB by default.  When you do specify the
    /SYMBOL qualifier, SDA assumes the default disk and directory to be
    SYS$DISK; that is, the disk and directory specified in your last
    SET DEFAULT command. If you specify a file for this parameter that
    is not a system symbol table, SDA halts with a fatal error.
