Error description
--- Features --- -DTCN profile plug-in integration with CICS objects in the CICS Explorer. This provides a mechanism to create or update a DTCN profile when you want to debug a transaction or program. You can right mouse click on either a transaction in the Transactions view or a program in the Programs view in the CICS Explorer and choose one of the actions: Update Profile or Manage Profile. With the updated DTCN profile, when the transaction or program is executed, a debug session is started for you to debug it. -New EQAOPTS QUIET keyword for the SVCSCREEN,OFF command to suppress message "EQA2458I SVC Screening is disabled by EQAOPTS. Handling of non-LE events is not available. Debugging of non-LE programs will be restricted in this Debug Tool session." See the ++HOLD DOC for further information. -New EQAOPTS STARTSTOPMSG command that tells Debug Tool whether to issue a message when each Debug Tool session starts and stops. See the ++HOLD DOC for further information. --- End Features --- --- Service --- -Debug Tool shows up in a hang (wait) while debugging COBOL program calling a C routine when using the remote debugger. (PM42736 at 11.1) -Various storage leaks may occur with Debug Tool during enclave start/end, resulting in short on storage condition. (PM46233 at 11.1) -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) -Port number in DTCN allows only 4 digits. Add additional digit support in 3270 DTCN and DTCN plug-in. (PM48399 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. (PM51457 at 11.1) -When trying to set a line BP in a COBOL NOTEST program (thus in disassembly mode) using the PF6 key (At Toggle), an ABENDS0C1 abend occurs in EQA30STO. Also, the remote debugger is not stopping at line/address BPs in COBOL NOTEST. (PM53355 at 10.1) -BMP: Instead of job-userid PSB-name is used for &USERID. (PM52842 at 11.1) -DTCU 'Create HTML Targeted Coverage Report' is not ignoring COBOL sequence numbers properly. --- End Service ---
