Error description

  • --- Features ---
    
    -Add support for EQADBG/EQAMDBG DDs in Debug Tool Utilities
     "JCL for Batch Debugging: (DTU option 8.1.3).
    
    -BROWSE MODE support for C/C++.
    
    -A new column, 'Terminal Id', appears in the DTCN Profiles view
     in the DTCN plug-in.
    
    --- End Features ---
    
    --- Service ---
    
    -When debugging CICS applications using the options ERROR and
     NOPROMPT, Debug Tool should only capture an ABEND and report
     that information. It is now gathering information as we
     process through every module.
     (PK95533 at 8.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 at EQA00STO+x'10BA' and EQA0SRP1+x'530C'.
     (PM01935 at 9.1)
    
    -RD/z does not interpret 31-bit address properly.
     (PM07231 at 9.1)
    
    -An Enterprise COBOL main program calls an Enterprise COBOL sub
     program, and for the sub program, the user sees these Debug
     Tool messages for the SYSDEBUG file that is available:
    
       EQA1964E Source or Listing data is not available, or the CU
       was not compiled with the correct compile options.
    
       EQA1872E An error occurred while opening file:
       xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx(yyyyyyyy). The file may not exist,
       or is not accessible.
    
     The actual problem was that not enough region was availble for
     loading and processing the file.  Debug Tool should provide a
     better message describing the actual problem.
    
     This fix requires co-req service for the Language Environment
     runtime for Enterprise COBOL.  Install the PTF for APAR
     PK93563. See the HOLD for details.

    -CICS: ASRA at EQANCLDE+x'12FA' or EQA00DBI+x'110C'.
     (PM05999 at 8.1)
    
    -New Langx support for duplicate labeled USINGs and a fix for a
     Langx error that caused problems debugging self-modifying
     code.
    
     If you need these fixes, you must rebuild your EQALANGX file
     with the new EQALANGX program supplied with this PTF.
    
     Refresh of EQALANGX from Fault Analyzer.
     EQALANGX version 2010-02-11 16:02.

    -Debug Tool stops at the program entry the first time a program
     is called, but does not stop when the program is called again.
     (PM07845 at 8.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C1 in VTAM caused by stray hook.
     (PM08512 at 7.1)
    
    -Terminal Interface Manager started task locks up, preventing
     users from logging on to TIM or debugging with the VTAM% TEST
     parameter.
     (PM08641 at 9.1)
    
    -Customer has a C++ program which runs in CICS. During
     debugging with WDD/z the connection between CICS and WDD/z
     gets lost.  Along with the connection interrupt they get an
     ASRA abend.
     (PM08657 at 9.1)

     handled correctly in watch breakpoints.

     (PM10243 at 9.1)
    
    -An infinite loop may occur when monitoring a based structure
     when Enterprise PL/I's BIND 'type function' is used within the
