Error description

• --- Service ---
  
  -An infinite loop occurs when using Debug Tool. Traversing DSA
   chains, a savearea points back to itself. Symptom could show
   loop occurring in CEEVGUNO.
   (PM83275 at 12.1)
   (PM83284 at 11.1)
  
  -Debug Tool Load Module Analyzer (LMA) does not recognize
   Enterprise PL/1 for z/OS V4 5655-W67.
   (PM83650 at 12.1)
  
  -DTCN is allowing the user to store a profile for a TCP session
   without providing a display address (DTCN field Display Id).
   This causes problems later when Debug Tool tries to access the
   incorrect display address.  DTCN has been changed to ensure
   that the user supplies a display address when storing a TCP
   profile.
   (PM86079 at 11.1)
  
  -EQALANGP and EQALANGX from PDTCC APAR PM82975.
   EQALANGX version 2013-03-01 10:34.
  
     Debug Tool customer using HLASM LANGX can have bad R0 and R4
     values displayed because EQALANGX can end up incorrectly
     putting label flag on some registers.
  
     When using LIST command to display the value of a register
     in Debug Tool (such as "LIST R0"), an incorrect value is
     displayed. The same problem exists for LIST, MONITOR LIST
     and AUTOMONITOR.
