Error description

  • --- Features ---
    
    -Enhancement in the DTSP plug-in to support an EQAOPTS data set
     containing EQAOPTS commands for your debugging session.  The
     Debug Tool Reference and Messages manual has a complete
     description of the EQAOPTS data set and the commands it
     contains.
    
    -Add support for CICS TS 4.2 Beta 7
    
    --- End Features ---
    
    --- Service ---
    
    -Short on storage condition occurs when using automonitor and
     attempting to debug a program with a large structure. See the
     HOLD DOC for a description of the updated message EQA1577E.
     (PM32910 at 10.1)
    
    -EQA1872E error opening commands file.
     (PM35307 at 10.1)
    
    -Breakpoints that are set in a non-LE assembler routine are not
     executed after a LINK to a COBOL program. The COBOL program
     does an XCTL to another non-LE assembler routine.
     (PM35855 at 9.1)
    
    -CICS abend ATNI is received when using Debug Tool.
     (PM35875 at 10.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C6 bad branch out of EQA00DBG.  CEEPCBDBG_BASADDR
     pointer is zero.
     (PM36165 at 11.1)
    
    -The following messages are received:
       EQA9993I - EQA00OHT: Failed to set hook in R/O storage
       EQA9993I - RC=00000004, Reason=00000102
     The Reason=00000102 indicates that the opcode at the location
     where Debug Tool wants to set a hook is not recognized.
     (PM37068 at 9.1)
    
    -Program Check at EQA00STO+0000116E. ABENDS0C1 occurs when
     using remote debug mode, caused by Free Address = 0.
     (PM36853 at 11.1)
    
    -Symptom indicates program check in EQA10MVS at a very large
     offset. Actual failure is in AIBTDLI, which is called even
     though not running under IMS TCB.
     (PM37490 at 10.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 program check in EQA00EXE offset x156E. Failing
     instruction is LH - 4880 4000.
     (PM37483 at 10.1)
    
    -Customer is using DTU "6  Debug Tool User Exit Data Set" to
     modify his EQAUOPTS dataset.  On the EQAPTPRM panel, he can't
     select "Full-screen mode" and also leave the "LU name" field
     blank.  This means he cannot edit EQAUOPTS for use when using
     TSO to display the Debug Tool screen.
     (PM38878 at 10.1)
    
    -The JCL used to start the Problem Determination Tools common
     started task in member IPVGSRVJ of the SIPVSAM1 data set has
     a problem. The CLASSPATH variables in the member are supposed
     to contain one line for every .jar file used by the product.
     However, the file names of these jar files tend to be fairly
     long, so that the data can not fit within columns 1-71, and
     environment variables are not allowed to be continued to
     another line.
     (PM39142 at 11.1)
    
    -The customer has found a problem using the "JCL to Setup File
     Conversion" feature in DTSU.  For some JCL the function does
     not work and no message is sent to the terminal.
     (PM39442 at 10.1)
    
    -Correct description of output of CICS IVPs
    
    -After upgrading from z/OS 1.9 to z/OS 1.11, there is a problem
     with Debug Tool on C application programs that were recompiled
     with the z/OS 1.11 C/C++ compiler. In this case a COBOL
     program calls a C driver program which calls other C
     subroutines. After compiled in z/OS 1.11, Debug Tool cannot
     debug the 'other C subroutines'.  These same subroutines can
     be debugged when compiled with the z/OS 1.9 C/C++ compiler.
     (PM40200 at 11.1)
    
    -In CICS/TS 4.1, ABENDS0C4 in EQA00E66 processing F4SA RSA for
     SEND LAST command.
     (PM40154 at 9.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 in IGZICA2 (UK58505) at offset x'211C' on a Load
     instruction (5850 E000). Incorrect registers are being given
     to COBOL runtime. Failure occurs on a CALL statement when one
     of the parms is a structure that has multiple ODO items and
     the user has SET AUTOMONITOR ON BOTH in effect.
     (PM42348 at 11.1)
    
    -An incorrect language code is being passed to EQAUEDAT exit.
     For Enterprise COBOL, langcode of '04' is expected; however,
     '41' is being displayed.
