Error description

  • After UI31316 is installed, hovering over a variable using the
    GUI remote debugger interface can result in a ABENDS0C4 at
    EQA0SXU1+'00007798'x.
    
    This fix from UI31361 is removed to resolve this concern:
    
       Remote GUI: Hovering over a variable with an invalid address
       causes a hang (loop).

    -Remote GUI: When using VADSCP930 with REMOTE GUI, in the
     Variables view and Monitors view, some constant string text is
     garbled (such as 'Show as string' and 'Character').
     (PI39451 at 12.1)
    
    -CICS:  When IGNORELINK is enabled (The setting of IGNORELINK
     is ON) and a user issues a GO command after stepping across an
     EXEC CICS LINK to a non-LE program, the debug session
     experiences excessive CPU and storage usage because IGNORELINK
     is being disabled (The setting of IGNORELINK is OFF).
     (PI42830 at 12.1)
    
    -Unpredictable results occur in an application after issuing an
     ATTACH. In the description of ATTACH in the z/OS MVS Assembler
     Services Reference, registers 2-12 are defined as volatile
     across the ATTACH and into the subtask. If the application
     depends on the values of these registers but does not restore
     them after an ATTACH, then problems can occur after Debug Tool
     modifies R2.
