Error description

  • --- Features ---
    
    -Add a new DTU utility function that converts JCL to Debug Tool
     setup file format. It provides a list of steps in the JCL and
     the user can choose one for conversion.
    
    -DTSU foreground:  MSGCLASS for SYSOUT=*.
    
    -MR0614105116: &&temp file support in DTSU foreground.
    
    -MR1007103007:  '+' as continuation character for SYSTSIN cmd
     in DTSU.
    
    -Add IMS transaction ID as a pattern matching argument in the
     Debug Tool LE user exit processing. It provides a filter for
     user wanting to start a debug session only for a specific IMS
     transaction.
    
    -Add new CICS transaction DTNP "Newcopy Program" to V10.1.  See
     "Appendix H. Running NEWCOPY on programs by using DTNP
     transaction" in the Debug Tool V11.1 User's Guide for
     information on how to use this transaction.
    
    -A new Debug Tool Built-In Function, %CHAR, is now available
     for Assembler and Disassembly.  It causes the operand to be
     displayed as character data in the same way that %HEX causes
     it to be displayed in hexadecimal.

    -ABENDS0C4 occurs in EQA01SV2 at offset x'216' on CLI
     instruction (95E2 C008) due to invalid address in gpr12.
     Exception occurs when calling IKJTSOEV.
     (PM26879 at 10.1)
    
    -The Disconnect button in the Debug perspective sometimes hangs
     RD/z.  Can't get RD/z to reconnect for a debug session when
     the program is re-driven.
     (PM27260 at 9.1)
    
    -Remote debugger: A watch breakpoint defined on a variable in a
     COBOL File Section is only taken at the first change. After
     that, even though the variable changes every time for a VSAM
     Read, Debug Tool does not stop anymore.
     (PM27351 at 10.1)
    
    -Message 'EQA9981I - EQA30STO Internal Error 0000000E' is
     issued followed by an ABENDS0C1 in EQA30STO.  This may happen
     when LOCAL MONITORS are used.
     (PM28091 at 11.1)
    
    -A MONITOR LIST value disappeared when PF7/PF8 is entered.
     (PM27927 at 10.1)

     ENVIRON command. An incorrect I/O area length is being passed.
     (PM28397 at 9.1)
    
    -Program Check at EQA00DEI+00002650.
     (PM30363 at 9.1)
    
    -Abend when EQA00EVH calls EQA00CUS - CeePcbDbg_BasAddr is
     zero.
     (PM28760 at 10.1)
    
    -Program Check at EQA00NMU+0000034C. Failing instruction is ST
     (50206010) due to reg6 being in a different key than psw.
     (PM29109 at 9.1)
    
    -Running EQACCSD causes these warnings:
     DFH5203 W RIGHT PARENTHESIS ASSUMED AFTER THE VALUE OF
             'PROGRAM'.
     DFH5214 W RESSECNUM IS AN OBSOLETE KEYWORD. IT IS IGNORED.
     (PM29255 at 10.1)
    
    -Program Check occurs in EQA50CTL at offset x106 when
     processing an ATND abend. Failing instruction is a STore
     (50F0400C) due to an invalid address in gpr4.
     (PM29504 at 9.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 occurs in EQANCLDE+1A8A when using the UNICOM/PIE
     interface with Debug Tool.  The abend occurs due to an invalid
     address in R4 which was caused by picking up a zero address
     from a backchain pointer.
     (PM30166 at 11.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 occurs in EQASTMOD, CSECT EQASTSUB, when using DTST
     transaction. Failure occurs at offset x'CF0' on STH
     instruction (4080 201C).
     (PM30804 at 10.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 occurs in module IGZINSH CSECT IGZIISF. Failing
     instruction is a CLC (D507 6000 B368) due to an invalid
     address in gpr6.
