I'm looking for a public domain control block formatting tool that will
display memory formatted with the information from a non-IBM assembler
DSECT. I realize that there are a couple of CBT files that probably
include this capability, but I'd appreciate any experiences regarding
ease of use or limitations before investing too much time.

Hi

Don't see too many suggestions, I'm interested also.
- I looked the IPCS control block formatting macros, I don't like them
too much
- We are working with C/C++ ,and the IBM DSECT2C utility can generate C
structures from DSECTs, we are using this in our C code.
- The DSECT2C utility and the other product , can do this, taking the
input from the HLASM ADATA files

Gary,

I know that you are looking for a public domain formatting tool. Not a public domain product, but the CA SYSVIEW product provides the function that you are looking for. Any DSECT, IBM or not can be assembled. Multiple DSECTs can be assembled at one time. The ADATA is captured and used to format virtual storage. The mapping DSECT can be displayed raw or used to map any piece of virtual storage. So, if you happen to be a user of SYSVIEW, you are in luck.

Landmark Software built several products that would display storage and format it as defined by Assembler DSECTs. One was TMON/MVS (now probably named TMON/zOS). They are all now marketed by Allen Systems Group in Naples, FL.
