Error description
--- Features --- -LangX COBOL The term "non-Language Environment COBOL" has been changed to "LangX COBOL" and the support has been extended. LangX COBOL now includes any of the following supported through the use of an EQALANGX file: - Programs compiled using the IBM OS/VS COBOL compiler (previously included in non-Language Environment COBOL). - Programs compiled using the VS COBOL II compiler with the NOTEST compiler option (previously included in non-Langauge Environment COBOL only when link-edited with a non-Language Environment library). - Programs compiled using the Enterprise COBOL compiler with the NOTEST compiler option. The SET PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE command has been extended to support LANGXCOBOL in addition to NONLECOBOL. The response from QUERY PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE is now LANGXCOBOL regardless of whether LANGXCOBOL or NONLECOBOL might have been used in the corresponding SET command. In addition, the language designator in the top left of the screen in full-screen mode is now "LX COBOL" (rather than "NL COBOL") when the current programming language is LangX COBOL. -Use a single Debug Tool Language Environment user exit data set for multiple IMS regions. The new function adds the IMS subsystem identifier information in the Debug Tool Language Environment user exit data set to allow a user to control whether to debug or not an application based on the IMS subsystem identifier. The IMS subsystem identifier information enhances the existing matching logic so that a user can use a single user exit data set for multiple IMS regions. The new function is limited to the IMS Debug Tool Language Environment user exit. Note: The 'Debug Tool Language Environment user exit data set' is also called the 'TEST run-time options data set' (typically userid.DBGTOOL.EQAUOPTS). -Add IMS transaction ID as a pattern matching argument in the Debug Tool LE user exit processing. It provides a filter for a user wanting to start a debug session only for a specific IMS transaction. -DTU options 6 and 8.1.1, TIM and DTSP - add IBM Subsystem ID and IMS Transaction ID. -DTSP: Display error message when EQAUOPTS dataset is in use. -If a duplicate MONITOR LIST command is now entered, Debug Tool issues a message and a prompt indicating that a duplicate command has been entered. You can either respond N to ignore the command, or Y to create a duplicate entry in the Monitor window. Two MONITOR LIST commands are considered to be duplicates if the log output or the LIST MONITOR output is the same for the two commands. -Debug Tool has been enhanced to not establish a Monitor command for 'Monitor Local List expression' if one or more variables in the expression are not defined in the specific compile unit. An error message will be displayed in this case. This enhancement will reduce unnecessary information in the Monitor window. -Add a new DTU utility function ( "A JCL to Setup File Conversion" ) 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. -MR0614105116: &&temp file support in DTSU foreground. -MR1007103007: '+' as continuation character for SYSTSIN cmd in DTSU. -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. -Message EQA1872E ( An error occurred while opening file: INSPPREF. The file may not exist, or is not accessible.) will now only be displayed (1) when INSPPREF is specified or defaulted in the preferences file suboption of the TEST runtime option and (2) there is a file allocated to the INSPPREF DD name and (3) this file can not be opened. Previously, if the INSPPREF DD name was not allocated (2), the message would be issued. Message EQA1872E ( An error occurred while opening file: INSPLOG. The file may not exist, or is not accessible.) will now only be displayed (1) when there is a file allocated to the INSPLOG DD name and (2) this file can not be opened. Previously, if the INSPLOG DD name was not allocated (1), the message would be issued. Note that in both cases, this change in only relevant to batch and full-screen modes. -PL/I conditions associated with file handling can now use a wild card (*) instead of having to specify a file reference. Specifically, the o AT OCCURENCE file_condition(file_reference) o ON file_condition(file_reference) commands have been enhanced for Enterprise PL/I programs to support a wildcard, *, for the file_reference. For example, if using the ON command, you can now enter the following command: ON ENDFILE(*) command; The wild card indicates that the breakpoint is honored for all files that raise the ENDFILE condition. -Support for the CICS/TS 4.2 Open Beta. See http://www-01.ibm.com/software/htp/cics/tserver/v42/openbeta/ for more information about the CICS/TS 4.2 Open Beta. -DTCN and DTSP plug-ins: Improve handling of invalid (or expired) TSO userid or password. --- End Features --- --- Service --- -Remote debugger: EQA9999E Program Check at EQA0SXU1+00007674 EQA9999E - Interrupt Code - 00000004 is received when certain code is single-stepped through and the Variables pane has focus.

Local fix
Additional Keywords: kixdcfcic670 Even with DEBUG=NO specified in the SIT, Language Environment initialization will still load all the Event Handlers. If Debug Tool load libraries are in the JCL, and LE finds the debug tool CEEEV006 module, you may still abend during CICS 4.2 initialization if the fixing PTF for this APAR is not applied. Symptoms will be: . Exception trace entry for S0C1/AKEA in DFHAPLI2 DFHSR0601 Program interrupt occurred with system task III in control PSW Program DFHAPLI2 was in control, but the PSW was elsewhere. PSW may be in low core. BEAR address may be in EQA10OSM
