Software Announcement 202-193 August 20, 2002 IBM Debug Tool Utilities and Advanced Functions V3.1 Helps Maximize Availability of z/OS and OS/390 Applications
(Corrected on December 20, 2002)
The Key Prerequisites and Software Requirements sections were updated.
At a GlanceIBM Debug Tool Utilities and Advanced Functions for z/OS and OS/390, V3.1 provides additional debugging capabilities that help to maximize availability of z/OS and OS/390 applications. This software provides:
For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: LE001). OverviewIBM Debug Tool Utilities and Advanced Functions for z/OS™ and OS/390®, V3.1 is IBM's newest product for source-level debugging for compiled applications. This software builds on the function in IBM Debug Tool for z/OS and OS/390 V3.1, to provide even more debugging capability, helping to maximize the availability of z/OS and OS/390 applications. Key Prerequisites
DescriptionPlayback Support: This support allows you to replay and review the application execution paths. For programs compiled with COBOL for MVS™ and VM or later, you can also review data values. This allows you to simulate the backward execution of the application and review application data values using appropriate Debug Tool commands. AutoMonitor Support for COBOL and PL/I: For programs compiled with the latest COBOL and PL/I compiler releases, this support automatically displays, in the Monitor window, the values of the variables referenced in the current statement. The values are displayed when Debug Tool gets control (for example, when you step to a statement or when a breakpoint is reached). Data items referenced by the current statement while the automonitor is in effect are automatically selected for monitoring and are displayed in the Debug Tool Monitor window and/or the Debug Tool log. Those explicitly selected for monitoring will also be displayed in the Monitor window. Fault Analyzer Interface: A new command has been added to interface with the Fault Analyzer product. You can use this command to have Fault Analyzer create a symbolic dump that you can analyze using Fault Analyzer utilities. Code Coverage: The new Debug Tool Coverage Utility measures code coverage in application programs written in COBOL, PL/I, C, C++, and z900 Assembler and compiled with specific IBM compilers and assemblers. File Processing Commands: A new set of commands is included that allows the user to query, allocate, and free files. Support for OS/VS COBOL and Other Old COBOL Programs: Source programs written for OS/VS COBOL are supported for debugging by a "Convert and Compile" option. This option includes source conversion during the compile step. The compilation is done using either Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and OS/390 or COBOL for OS/390 and VM and then the converted OS/VS COBOL source programs can be debugged using Debug Tool. In addition, once the debugging is completed you can choose to continue using the OS/VS COBOL compiler, or since you have already debugged the new module and know it works, you can use the new level of source code that was produced during the compilation and use a newer compiler. One by one you will eventually convert all of your OS/VS COBOL source code to the latest compilers! This feature will also support ANY level of COBOL source program as input, including VS COBOL II, COBOL for MVS and VM, and COBOL for OS/390 and VM programs that were previously compiled with the CMPR2 compiler option. This source conversion can also be done separately from the compile step if you choose.
Preparation and Compilation Facilities for Programs:
Preparation and compile facilities are included that provide
functions that can be used to compile and link your COBOL, PL/I, C, and
C++ programs. They also provide you access to CICS® and DB2®
preprocessors.
Value Unit Based PricingValue Unit based pricing will help to align the prices of these products to the principle of the PSLC pricing curve which provides for a lower price per MSU (millions of service units per hour) for larger capacities. There is also a price benefit when customers grow their capacity. Additional capacity will be based on the number of Value Units (MSUs) the customer has already installed, for example, additional capacity will not be priced starting at the base with a higher price per unit but on the capacity that is already installed.
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be
exchanged/interchanged/aggregated with Value Units of another product.
International Program License Agreement (IPLA) and Subscription and Support ConsiderationsIPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. The customer may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement. It is the customer's responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the product license. Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made.

Value Units for IBM 9672 Processors will be based upon the full capacity of these systems. This is applicable to all S/390®-based systems that are measured on MSU capacity. Information on MSU capacities can be found in the "IBM System/370™, System/390® and zSeries Machine Exhibit", Z125-3901.
Value Units for IBM There will be a tool available that provides support for transforming the MSU-based capacities of S/390 systems to new Value Units by calculating the applicable number of Value Units for a given number of MSUs. Translation from MSUs to Value Units Example

Base 1-3 1.00
Tier A 4-45 .45
Tier B 46-175 .36
Tier C 176-315 .27

Note: For the actual translation from MSUs to Value Units for this product, refer to below. Ordering Example: The total number of Value Units is calculated according to the following example. If the customer has installed 1,000 MSUs, the applicable Value Units would be: Translation from MSUs to Value Units
Value Value
MSUs * Units/MSU = Units
Base 3 * 1.00 = 3.00
Tier A 42 * .45 = 18.90
Tier B 130 * .36 = 46.80
Tier C 140 * .27 = 37.80
Tier D 685 * .20 = 137.00
Total 1,000 244
When calculating the total number of Value Units, the sum is to be rounded up to the next integer.
