Gathering IPCS symptoms

After getting a list of symptoms, use IPCS to collect further symptom data. A primary symptom string is usually not available in a stand-alone dump; however, IPCS can add a secondary symptom string. In Figure 1, the explanation of the secondary symptom string indicates an enabled wait state condition.
