Error description

  • --- Service ---
    
    -Short on storage condition occurs when using automonitor and
     attempting to debug a program with a large structure. See the
     HOLD DOC for a description of the updated message EQA1577E.
     (PM32910 at 10.1)
    
    -Customer is using DTU "6  Debug Tool User Exit Data Set" to
     modify his EQAUOPTS dataset.  On the EQAPTPRM panel, he can't
     select "Full-screen mode" and also leave the "LU name" field
     blank.  This means he cannot edit EQAUOPTS for use when using
     TSO to display the Debug Tool screen.
     (PM38878 at 10.1)
    
    -The customer has found a problem using the "JCL to Setup File
     Conversion" feature in DTSU.  For some JCL the function does
     not work and no message is sent to the terminal.
     (PM39442 at 10.1)
    
    -After upgrading from z/OS 1.9 to z/OS 1.11, there is a problem
     with Debug Tool on C application programs that were recompiled
     with the z/OS 1.11 C/C++ compiler. In this case a COBOL
     program calls a C driver program which calls other C
     subroutines. After compiled in z/OS 1.11, Debug Tool cannot
     debug the 'other C subroutines'.  These same subroutines can
     be debugged when compiled with the z/OS 1.9 C/C++ compiler.
     (PM40200 at 11.1)
    
    -In CICS/TS 4.1, ABENDS0C4 in EQA00E66 processing F4SA RSA for
     SEND LAST command.
     (PM40154 at 9.1)
    
    -When a source/listing file is greater than 32M, not all source
     lines are displayed in the Source window.
     (PM40225 at 10.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 in IGZICA2 (UK58505) at offset x'211C' on a Load
     instruction (5850 E000). Incorrect registers are being given
     to COBOL runtime. Failure occurs on a CALL statement when one
     of the parms is a structure that has multiple ODO items and
     the user has SET AUTOMONITOR ON BOTH in effect.
