Error description

  • --- Service ---
    
    -Various storage leaks may occur with Debug Tool during enclave
     start/end, resulting in short on storage condition.
     (PM46233 at 11.1)
    
    -1.When trying to set multiple line BPs in a COBOL NOTEST
       program (thus in disassembly mode) using the PF6 key (AT
       TOGGLE), an ABENDS0C4 abend occurs in EQA30TK.
    
     2.When trying to delete a line BP in a COBOL NOTEST program
       (thus in disassembly mode) using the PF6 key (AT TOGGLE),
       either an ABENDS0C4 abend occurs in EQA30TK or the BP is not
       deleted and the following message is displayed in the DT Log
       window:
    
        AT OFFSET X'200' ;
       EQA1046I The OFFSET NTDEMO ::> NTDEMO :> X'00000200'
       breakpoint is replaced.
    
     3.The remote debugger is not stopping at line/address BPs in
       COBOL NOTEST.
     (PM53355 at 10.1)
    
    -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)
    
    -CICS: When using DTST transaction for a program, a
     corresponding PPT entry will be created. If the program name
     is invalid or the program does not exist, the new PPT entry is
     not deleted.
     (PM56711 at 10.1)
    
    -DTCU - 'GTarget       Create HTML Targeted Coverage Report'
     does not handle COBOL sequence numbers properly.
    
    -Remote GUI:  Using  code page 1390 in EQAOPTS and have the
     variable view open causes
