Error description

  • --- Service ---
    
    -Remote GUI: In COBOL, when the watch breakpoint has the
     address of the watched expression change during the course of
     the debug session, a watch breakpoint hits only once - all
     later occurrences are not honored.
     (PM56693 at 11.1)
    
    -Remote DTCN plug-in: Bad Request responds from test connection
     if userid contains '#':
     Server response code = 400
     Server response msg  = Bad Request
     Special char # in userid caused the connection problem.
     See the ++HOLD for further information about how to acquire
     the updated plug-in.
     (PM54782 at 11.1)
    
    -Debug Tool CICS DTST transaction is erroneously translating
     some special characters:
     X 5B  should display as a dollar sign, not quote
     X 7D  should display as an apostrophe
     X 7F  should display as a quote
     (PM52913 at 10.1)
    
    -Saved breakpoints in a C function are not being restored.  The
     breakpoints are successfully read in and entered as suspended
     BPs, but do not get set when the load module containing the C
     function is loaded.
     (PM53371 at 11.1)
    
    -CICS: Error parsing the terminal ID in a TEST string if the
     terminal ID has a colon in it.
     (PM54229 at 11.1)
    
    -CICS: Transaction appears to go into a loop for INQUIRE
     PROGRAM.  Problem occurs with fetched programs.
     (PM54427 at 11.1)
    
    -DBCS field (WK-TEXT-128-G  PIC  G(064) ) in a COBOL program is
     being monitored in DT session. When the field (along with
     other fields) is initialized by COBOL INITIALIZE statement,
     the screen is disordered and gets PROG799.
     (PM54833 at 9.1)
    
    -The EQAUEDAT user exit is not being invoked when Debug Tool
     successfully finds the separate debug file via the SET DEFAULT
     LISTINGS command.
     (PM54931 at 11.1)
    
    -CICS: Debug Tool abends in DFHETRX when issuing ENTER
     TRACENUM.
     (PM55085 at 11.1)
    
    -When EQAOPTS command LOGDSN is in effect, SET LOG ON is not
     working properly after a SET LOG OFF.  It should be picking up
     the value of LOGDSN, but is not.
     (PM55590 at 11.1)
    
    -If DT fails to connect for a TIM session -- e.g., if the TIM
     user is not logged on -- it does not CLOSE the ACB it opened
     to talk to the terminal LU.  In certain environments like IMS
     online, this leads to the DT "minor nodes" (EQAMV*) gradually
     getting tied up, all in ACTIV state.
