     to indicate that the updates have been saved into the EQAUOPTS
     data set.

    -ABENDS0E0 code 31 or 34 issued when using Debug Tool and IRF.
     (PM70958 at 12.1)
    
    -Using SET SCREEN 6 SOURCE MONITOR LOG with a terminal size of
     62x160 the Memory window can not be used.  Message EQA2638E
     "Invalid Memory window width." is issued against Debug Tool
     'SWAP MEMORY LOG' command.
     (PM67282 at 11.1)
    
    -S206-C0 ABEND if SEQAMOD is in the LINKLIST.
     (PM67447 at 11.1)
    
    -DTU JCL parsing is incorrectly converting
     // PARM=('&IMSLIB1','&IMSLIB2','&DB2LIB1',&ENV)
     to
     // PARM=''P.IMSVS'',''P.IMSVS'',''IMSVSR'',P'
     (PM68647 at 11.1)
    
    -Debug Tool is not catching an exception in assembler.
     (PM70027 at 11.1)
    
    -ABENDS0C4 in Debug Tool routine EQA00TMM at offset x1BA when
     LE is active in the enclave when an STIMER macro is
     encountered.
     (PM70459 at 11.1)
    
    -A batch job inititated a LE Assembler program which has a
     COBOL program statically linked in.  The breakpoints are
     behaving as expected until it calls the COBOL program.  Then,
     the job runs on its own without returning to the Assembler
     program.  The job had an unusually high CPU usage before it
     finally finished.  Problem only occurs using RDz.
     (PM72147 at 11.1)
    
    -Remote GUI: LOCAL FILTER menu is bad if codepage is set to 930
     because of lower case character.
     (PM72134 at 11.1)
    
    -EQA9999E - Program Check at EQA00KBM+000008CA.
     EQA9999E - Interrupt Code - 00000004
     (PM72142 at 11.1)
    
    -Program check occurs in EQA30NTC at offset x'E40' when using
     MONITOR LIST command. Failing instruction is STore (50302014).
     (PM72278 at 11.1)
    
    -Exclusion of HostBridge programs so HostBridge software can be
     used when using Debug Tool in a CICS region.
     (PM72101 at 12.1)
    
    -Remote GUI: Codepage 930 causes bad messages in debug console.
     (PM72751 at 11.1)
    
    -EQALANGX/EQALANGP for PDTCC APAR PM68806.
     EQALANGX version 2012-08-06 12:17.
    
    -The DTCU Monitor interface command is writing a wrong length
     into BRKOUT when debug and frequency count are on.  This
     causes Combine to create a BRKOUT with a bad length, which
     then causes Summary to fail with a 'EQACU015S Summary: Invalid
     BRKOUT file.' message.
    
    -The DTCU Monitor breakpoint processing has been improved to
     better handle the case where the same subroutine is being
     monitored in more than one session. Note: This may cause some
     testcases to take longer to run with DTCU.
    
    -ABENDS0C4 during TIM Start-up EQAYSESM.
     Exception in EQAYSESM csect EQAYMXPW offset x222 after
     following messages are issued:
