    APAR PM69781 marks PTF UK79568 as PE.
    
    The PTF for APAR PM69781 will fix the problem found in UK79568
    (described above) and include all the other changes in:

    --- Features ---
    
    -Support for an IMS transaction that is associated with a
     generic ID.
    
     A new feature is added to the consolidated Language
     Environment user exit (EQAD3CXT) to search a new cross
     reference table for the user ID of a user who wants to debug a
     IMS transaction that is started from the web and is associated
     with a generic ID.  This enables Debug Tool to debug these
     transactions that use a generic ID.  The user ID from the
     cross reference table is used to find the user's Debug Tool
     user exit data set (userid.DBGTOOL.EQAUOPTS) which specifies
     the TEST run time parameters and the display device address.
    
     A new option is added to the Debug Tool Utilities ISPF panel,
     "C  IMS Transaction and User ID Cross Reference Table" to
     allow each user to update the new cross reference table.
    
     See the ++HOLD DOC for more information.
    
    -Support for tracing load modules loaded by an application.
    
     New commands TRACE LOAD and LIST TRACE LOAD are added for Debug
     Tool's 3270 mode. This set of commands allows the user to get a
     trace of load modules loaded by the application. You start the
     trace by issuing the TRACE LOAD START. You can use LIST TRACE
     LOAD to display the TRACE. The TRACE includes load modules
     known to Debug Tool at the time the TRACE LOAD START command is
     entered and all that are loaded while the TRACE is active.
     You can end the trace by issuing TRACE LOAD END. Note that
     when you end the trace, all trace information is deleted.
    
     See the ++HOLD DOC for more information.
    
    -Support for terminating an idle Debug Tool session that uses
     the Terminal Interface Manager.
    
     Debug Tool now supports a time-out option (via the new EQAOPTS
     SESSIONTIMEOUT command) which allows the system programmer to
     establish a maximum wait time for debug sessions using a
     dedicated terminal or the Terminal Interface Manager.  If the
     debug session exceeds the specified time limit without any
     user interaction, the session will be terminated with either a
     QUIT or QUIT DEBUG.
    
     See the ++HOLD DOC for more information.
    
    -Add support for CICS/TS 5.1 Beta 4.
    
     Support is added for CICS TS 5.1 beta 4. Support is only
     provided for base CICS functions, i.e. those functions which
     were available in CICS TS 4.2. Support is not guaranteed for
     new functions within CICS TS 5.1.
    
    --- End Features ---
    
    --- Service ---
    
    -Prevent the prompt "EQA1211I The MONITOR command has already
     been established. Enter it again?" from being issued when
     duplicate monitor commands are entered manually, from a
     commands or preference file, or are restored from a SAVEBPS
     file.
    
     See the ++HOLD DOC for more information.

    -Debug Tool is passing a bad parameter to EQAUEDAT.
     (PM62364 at 11.1)
    
    -x'68' bytes of subpool 241 storage getmained by the Terminal
     Interface Manager not freed.
     (PM62423 at 11.1)
    
    -Debug Tool suffers RLCP abend at the end of a debugging
     session if Omegamon RLIM is active.
     (PM64262 at 10.1)
    
    -CICS: AbendAEIP in EQADCXEC when EQADPFMB data set can not be
     accessed.
     (PM64575 at 11.1)
    
    -Remote session does not display EQA4027E message.
     (PM65475 at 11.1)
    
    -Debug Tool Coverage Utility (DTCU) Setup is issuing +EQACU058W
     Setup: Listing has no executable statements: no breakpoints
     inserted for an Enterprise PL/I listing when the compiler was
     run with NATLANG(UEN).
     (PM66207 at 11.1)
    
    -EQAXOPT  NAMES,EXCLUDE,LOADMOD,'XXX*' is not honoring the *
     wildcard character.
     (PM66008 at 11.1)
    
    -When using the DTCN (for CICS) plug-in:
     - the transaction id is no longer uppercased.
    
     See the ++HOLD for further information about how to acquire
     the updated plug-in.
    
    -Debug Tool Coverage Utility "GTarget       Create HTML
     Targeted Coverage Report" problems:
     1. Output is corrupted in some cases when an HTML report is
        fed back in as input (with a different Program-ID).
     2. Miscellanous problems with detecting invalidly specified
        input and output data set names.
