    -High CPU usage and storage usage when debugging COBOL V5
     routines when LIST or AUTOMONITOR of variables.
     (PI53642 at 13.1)
    
    -The EQAUOPTS data set is required to be a sequential data set.
     If a user however enters a PDS data set in Terminal Interface
     Manager - PF10 Edit LE options data set and saves the
     information entered in the next screen - that PDS has been
     corrupted and is unusable now.
     (PI51972 at 13.1)
    
    -Updating field in Monitor produces wrong MOVE command when SET
     LIST BY SUBSCRIBE ON is used.  Problem only occurs if table
     has 3 or more dimensions and after you paged down in the
     Monitor view.
     (PI53401 at 13.1)
    
    -Remote DTCN profile can not be re-activated.  Debug Tool does
     not trap the transaction after deactivating and reactivating
     the remote created profile.
     (PI52991 at 12.1)
    
    -Remote GUI: Hovering over a variable containing more than one
     index and SET LIST BY SUBSCRIPT ON causes a loop in Debug
     Tool.

    -Debugging a COBOL V5.2 compiler exit gets an ABENDS0C1
     EQA00EHB+'948'x.
     (PI56582 at 13.1)
    
    -When debugging an assembler program, the program issues a
     STORAGE RELEASE of an area that contains a variable referenced
     by the program. After the storage is released, a ABENDS0C4
     abend results in EQA0AIP3 when attempting to monitor the
     variable.
     (PI54720 at 13.1)

    -When a user selects the Run-To-Location action in the remote
     debugger, it intermittently does not stop when the target
     statement is executed. This can happen when the COBOL V5
     compiler is used  with compiler options OPT(1) and
     TEST(NOEJPD).

     followed by an SM0002 abend in CICS
     (PI56569 at 12.1)
    
    -When debugging an assembler program, an abend can occur if the
     program makes a call to the Fault Analyzer IDISNAP routine.
     Debug Tool's recovery mechanism can become corrupted,
     resulting in an ABENDS0C1 abend in module EQA00OHH.
     (PI56747 at 13.1)
    
    -An ABENDS0C4 can occur in Debug Tool module EQA0DSU+'360'x
     after an application abend occurs in CICS, during condition
     handling processing.

     compilers prior to Enterprise COBOL.

    -STEP OVER stops in TEST compiled program for no reason in
     remote debug session.
     (PI57891 at 13.1)
    
    -Load Module Analyzer (EQALMA) is leaking 24 bit storage each
     time it is called by a program (rather than being invoked via
     STEPLIB or from ISPF).
