Error description

  • --- Features ---
    
    -A new EQAOPTS option DYNDEBUG has been added to enable the
     user to turn the dynamic debug facility on or off during Debug
     Tool initialization.
    
    --- End Features ---
    
    
    --- Service ---
    
    -CICS: When using a generic DTCN profile with DTCNFORCECUID
     (aka DTCNFORCEPROGID) and/or DTCNFORCELOADMODID set to YES in
     EQAOPTS, the resulting LoadMod::>CU resource pair contains
     only wildcard characters (e.g. *::>*). Debug Tool will then
     attempt to debug every program, and end up in a WAIT.
     (PM46472 at 10.1)
    
    -Remote: CICS abend AZI6 occurs when DTCN GUI is used to create
     a DTCN profile.
     (PM47292 at 11.1)
    
    -The Terminal Interface Manager started task is started, but
     when the user attempts to start up a TIM session, they connect
     to the TELNET address space, but a lightning bolt 655 prevents
     them from doing anything else.  The Terminal Interface Manager
     logon screen never appears.
     (PM47451 at 11.1)
    
    -AUTOMONITOR window displays incorrect output after paging up
     or paging down. The length of the variable name results in the
     value being placed on a second line. After PF7 or PF8, the
     value is cleared and the variable name is listed twice.
     (PM49230 at 11.1)
    
    -Unable to debug/step into a statically called COBOL program
     when the calling program is non-LE assembler.
     (PM50865 at 11.1)
    
    -IMS: EQASET TSOID does not work in IMS region, debug session
     does not start up in TIM.
     (PM50177 at 10.1)
    
    -Breakpoints not saved when QUIT from Assembler subroutine.
     (PM50421 at 11.1)
    
    -Incomplete generated MOVE statement if COBOL variable starts
     with numbers when a MONITOR LIST is issued by user.
     (PM50838 at 10.1)
    
    -Short on storage occurs when debugging COBOL application and
     variables are being monitored.  Internal control blocks are
     built but are not being freed.
     (PM50843 at 10.1)
    
    -After paging up in Automonitor window, variable name is listed
     twice. Also, extraneous characters are displayed to the right
     of the value of the variable.
     (PM51404 at 11.1)
    
    -CICS: Saving Debug Tool profile the second time issues
     ABENDAFCW.
     (PM51390 at 10.1)
    
    -CICS: Stepping through program, and when they do a RUN, the
     session hangs. Application screen hangs in 3270 RECEIVE when
     in Single Terminal Mode.
