Error description
--- Service --- -Debug Tool IMS Transaction Isolation updates and fixes. o IMS Isolation transaction routing locks up in shared queue env. o IMS Isolation clone of message region JCL fails if the job has > 1 step. o Don't clobber IOPCB across AIBTDLI calls. o IMS systems with many transactions exceed ISPF PROFILE pool limit when using panel EQAPMPSL. o Preserve the SPA length of the original transaction in IMS Isolation. o Allow site to override job parms for private MPR for IMS Isolation. -ABEND in EQA50TMN or EQA10FLO if SET AUTOMONITOR ON LOG is active. (PI65360 at 13.1) -The Debug Tool monitor displays a wrong value for a level 88 condition name when the routine is compiled with the Enterprise COBOL for z/OS compiler V5 or V6.1. If a level 88 condition name for an alphanumeric variable contains a single character constant as its value, but the alphanumeric variable has a length greater than one, Debug Tool is not evaluating the condition name correctly. This co-reqs service to these compilers: Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 5.2 compier PI71968 HADB520 UI42823 Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 6.1 compier PI71984 HADB610 UI43370 FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0502T/K FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0601T/K This problem remains if you compiled with the 5.1 compiler. If your program is compiled with V5.2 or V6.1, but the compiler fix was not applied, then if you use the debugger to display a condition name that has a figurative constant as its value, you may see an incorrect result. The debugger may show TRUE when it should be FALSE, or vice versa. (PI71624 at 13.1) -In assembler you can reassign new storage area to a variable e.g MSGAREA DC CL80'INTITIAL VALUE MSGAREA' MY USING UA,7 MY.MSGAREA is now pointing to a new storage area. Debug Tool would still show the value for MSGAREA. (PI74719 at 13.1) -Debug Tool can encounter an ABENDS0C4 at EQA00OHH+'87A'x when ABENDAID is active, due to the use of Format 7 Save Areas which require 64-bit compatibility. (PI67911 at 13.1) -Unable to set breakpoint in CSECT if compiled with NODYNAM and 2 CSECTS in one source file. If you have 2 CSECTs in one source file like process nodynam identification division. program-id. dttest. procedure division. call 'dttest1' goback. end program dttest. identification division. program-id. dttest1. procedure division. display 'dttest1' goback. end program dttest1. Debugging DTTEST - you will not be able to set a breakpoint in DTTEST1. (PI70555 at 13.1) -&PGMNAME is not resolved if EQAD3CXT is used. (PI73739 at 13.1) -Remote: The char-Representation of the variable is empty, however in Hex the content is displayed. (PI71385 at 13.1) -Debug Tool for COBOL V5/V6 programs that include definitions for large data elements may exhibit poor performance, including possible AbendAICA under CICS. FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0501T/K FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0502T/K FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0601T/K (PI72370 at 13.1) -ABENDS0C4 in EQACURPT routine UpdtStmt+'39C'. DTCU Report (EQACURPT) is not handling an Enterprise PL/I compile that was done with NATLANG(UEN). It is missing the beginning of the Attribute/Xref section and thus not ignoring that section during annotation. This can lead to an abend depending on what it finds there. (PI72724 at 13.1) -Debug Tool encounters an ABENDS0C1 or ABENDS0C4 in EQA00SVC due to an incorrect saved CAA address on second EXEC CICS LINK. (PI68537 at 13.1) -Remote: Hover sometimes results in Invalid Expression message when EQAOPTS option SUSAN is on. (PI74065 at 13.1) -Abend in EQACCDRV+'5284x when using Debug Tool Code Coverage plug-in. (PI74724 at 13.1) -Various ABENDs and problems with Debug Tool IMS transaction Isolation setup and execution. (PI74219 at 13.1) -ABEND4088 in CEETBCK when debugging COBOL V5/V6 application in CICS with Debug Tool. FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0501T/K FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0502T/K FIXCAT KEYWORD: COB0601T/K (PI74466 at 13.1) -Debug Tool IMS Transaction Isolation uses (24-bit) CSA, rather than plentiful ECSA storage; this APAR changes this functionality to use ECSA.
