Error description
--- Features --- -Debug Tool now supports debugging of assembler programs that exploit the latest IBM zEnterprise 196 architecture. In addition, new Debug Tool variables, %GPRH0, %GPRH1, ... %GPRH15, are now available to reference the high, 32-bit registers. See the +HOLD for more information. -Debugger support for the new Enterprise PL/I 4.1 compiler, including the new GONUMBER(SEPARATE) compiler option. Support for GONUMBER(SEPARATE) also requires a new Language Environment runtime PTF for APAR PM19445. See the ++HOLD for more information. -Coverage Utiity support for the new Enterprise PL/I 4.1 compiler. -Load Module Analyzer: Add SS (seconds) to LEINFO compile time. -Listing PL/1 array enhancements. Display single occurrence and display array as it is stored in memory. See the +HOLD for more information. (PM21186 at 10.1) -The EQALMA LEINFO option now generates non-LE compile date and time information for OS/VS COBOL and VS COBOL II in addition to the LE information for all LE enabled languages. -The Debug Tool internal heap limit for expression processing has been increased to 250M, allowing larger data items to be processed. See the ++HOLD for information about changes to the Explanation and Programmer response for EQA1484E. -Update the Enterprise PL/I IVPs for Enterprise PL/I 4.1. --- End Features --- --- Service --- -ABENDS0C1 in EQA00STO+x'000000E8' expanding a C variable from RD/z. (PM16663 at 9.1) -Host session hangs with PROG755 monitoring DBCS variable with bad data. No error occurs with SET DBCS OFF. (PM17597 at 9.1) -User opens a COBOL table. Its index number is displayed incorrectly. This fails on RDz 7.0.1.1, not 7.0.1.4. (PM17732 at 10.1) -DTSU COPY drops the DUMMY keyword from DD statement. (PM17984 at 9.1) -Dynamic Table Manager not compatible with CEEBINIT that is linked with EQADICXT. (PM18400 at 10.1) -Unable to debug assembler if called from LE cobol with CEETEST. Customer has a main program XXXX which call the exit XXX@S01, where a CEETEST call is issued and the session for debugging is established. After going back to the main program XXXX, XXXX calls the program which they want to debug. Here, they can debug a COBOL program with this method. However they can not debug an assembler program. The session for debugging is disconnected when XXXX calls the assembler program they want to debug. (PM18664 at 9.1) -Updating a variable monitor in optimized COBOL results in: EQA1418E One or more of multiple updates were not processed. (PM18726 at 10.1) -Exception occurs in EQA0AIP1+x'00009414'. The failure is occurring on the EXecute instruction (44F0B1C6), which is really trying to process an MVC instruction (D207 E000 8002). Exception occurs due to an invalid address in reg8. (PM19035 at 10.1) -Customer received "EQA1980E The Debug File for xxxxxx could not be opened or read." when they used SET DEFAULT LISTINGS to a copied debug file. (PM19270 at 9.1) -LE U4088 while listing large structure. (PM19541 at 9.1) -AbendS0C6 occurred due to bad branch out of EQADCCXR. The module was attempting to branch to another routine whose address should be contained in DtRcb control block. However, the control block was overlaid. This APAR is intended to prevent the control block from being overlaid. (PM20478 at 10.1) -While debugging a program that expects to receive CEE067 condition, the message was not issued. (PM20538 at 9.1) -AbendS0C4 in EQANCDBG+x'0000259C' on a Load instruction (5890 32F4) due to an invalid value in reg3. Problem occurs when user issues a QUIT command while in Debug Tool. (PM20801 at 10.1) -On entry to an assembler program ABENDS0C1 occurs after entering Debug Tool command 'LIST R13->+4'. The following message is also being issued. "+EQA9988S A debug tool has terminated the enclave. +nmest:ABEND at EQA00EVH+000CCE92 / PSW: ....." (PM21358 at 10.1) -During a debug session, user sets fields to monitor, and then finishes and gets out of debug, but when they start it up again, the fields that were set to monitor are either no longer there or get an error and have to be reset for monitoring. Here is the error received: An error occurred during expression evaluation. This is because the hyphens in the COBOL variable names now have spaces surrounding them. This problem can be seen with commands such as: MONITOR LIST BRK-INSURANCE-LINE(2), when also debugging a C program. This is due to the fact that data names in Assembler and in C are not valid with hyphens. (PM21196 at 8.1) -Error in Monitor window when Scroll set to CSR. The problem occurs during a debugging session on a 3270 screen and having the "Scroll" set to "CSR". After having put several variables in the MONITOR window, the cursor has been moved inside the MONITOR window and the PF8 key (DOWN) had been selected several times; after that the PF7 key (UP) has been selected once and then a second time: the second attempt and any other attempt to go UP with the PF7 key appear to fail. The problem always happens when the cursor is on the second-last line of the MONITOR window. (PM22320 at 10.1) -Customer is unable to start Debug Tool using DTSU setup file. Allocation failed - EQAZ050W Allocation of a temp data set. (PM22676 at 10.1) -EQALANGX at FA PTF UK59774 level. EQALANGX version 2010-08-19 22:17 -If Debug Tool is running in Separate (formerly known as Dual) terminal mode or in Screen Control Mode, it runs with the userid of the application and not the userid of the display terminal. This causes confusion/problems with SAVESETS and SAVEBPS. This service will change Debug Tool to use the userid of the display terminal. -Messaging is enhanced when resources are exhausted during expression evaluation. See the ++HOLD for information about changes to the Explanation and Programmer response for EQA1484E. -DTCN plug-in: Test Connection error handling fixes. See the ++HOLD DOC for information about installing this update. -Some storage isses are resolved by limiting the monitor table to 30000 lines (SET MONITOR LIMIT is thus limited to 30000). These defects have already been shipped via separate PTFs: PM09411 / UK58904 PE -If a Debug Tool user is stopped after a STEP, and a previously-set STIMER or STIMERM interval expires, and a timer exit routine was specified, Debug Tool can take an exception (such as an s0c1). PM21383 / UK60143 -A Debug Tool session using Terminal Interface Manager hangs after starting the program after APPLY of UK58904. --- End Service ---
