* = APAR associated with PTF number
| APAR fixed | Description |
| PM88403 | -Handle NOTEST in delay debug mode. |
| PM87313 | -Debug session in TIM abends abnormaly or gets timed out. When the developer tries to log on back into TIM - Error message 'EQAY999S User already in a debug session' is issued. |
| PM79815 | -USE statement in Global Preferences file or INSPREF causes ENQ to be left active after processing of the files is complete. |
| PM87176 | -Message 'EQAU999I IMS ENVIRONMENT VALIDATION OK' in not MSGID controlled. |
| PM87843 | -Intermittent S0C4 abend in EQAYFGID (TIM). |
| PM82508 | -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 LISTand AUTOMONITOR. (PM80439 against PDTCC) |
| PM81324 | -EQAD3CXT not trapping DL/I batch. |
| PM81367 | -CICS: A loop occurs in Debug Tool routine EQA10OUT after a task is purged (abend AEXY). Problem occurs when running with LE run-time option TRAP(OFF). |
| PM81420 | -Program Check in EQA00CTX+6ECx when a nonexistent line number was checked beyond MaxLine number. |
| PM81807 | -PGMIDERR with DTNP progname where progname is less than 8 characters long. |
| PM83275 | -An infinite loop occurs when using Debug Tool. Traversing DSA chains, a savearea points back to itself. Symptom could show loop occurring in CEEVGUNO. |
| PM83332 | -ABENDS878 in WLM ASID if delayed debug is enabled. Turning on messages in the EQAD3CXT exit shows the following: DSNX9I4R CALL FOR ENVIRONMENT. RETURN CODE = 00000000000 REASON CODE = 00000000000 DSNX9I4R CALL RESULT. RETURN CODE = 00000000000 REASON CODE = 00000000000 *** EQADXPMT STARTS ***. The problem is that there should be more WTO's after DSNX9I4R. The missing EQAU999I message indicates a problem in EQAD3XXT. IPCS VSMSORT PRIVATE output will show something like: 00026000 Size 2000 FQE: Addr 00026000 Size A18 << 00028000 Size 2000 FQE: Addr 00028000 Size FE8 << which are allocation for DSA and parmstring for EQAD3XXT. |

| PM83650 | -Debug Tool Load Module Analyzer (LMA) does not recognize Enterprise PL/1 for z/OS V4 5655-W67. |
| PM83747 | -ABENDS0C4 at EQAYASSC+'790'x (TIM) in IMS and DB2 with delayed debugging on. RACF environment for one TIM user is used for another TIM user when verifying access to the latter's TEST run-time option data set. This results in spurious security violations. Users allowed to log on to TIM when the user is already in a debug session on a different terminal. |
| PM83912 | -MONITOR prefix line commands H and D change more than one line. Entering D or H in prefix area should only change the value in the same line. Observation shows it changing all variables in the monitor view or a subset of the displayed variables. |
| PM84033 | -JCL parser used in DTSU. When a step in a JCL invokes a PROC and provides a replacement DD statement and the attributes in the DD statement are defined in the PROC then the JCL parser does not generate the DD attributes in the new generated JCL which leads to errors. |
| PM84644 | -Wrong USER ID used in deleting profiles in DTCN. USER ID set in DTCN determines which DTCN profiles can be deleted. User A logs on to CICS region , in DTCN USER ID is set to user B, in SHOW PROFILE view User A can now delete user B's profiles. |
| PM84816 | -Japanese panel EQAPFORC is incorrect. The description of the first 5 options is corrupted. This fits DT 11.1 JPN PM81832 to DT 12.1 JPN. |
| PM75819 | -Debug Tool is enhanced to allow for GOTO or JUMPTO for programs compiled with OPT and the NOEJPD suboption of the Enterprise COBOL TEST compile option when SET WARNING setting is OFF. ee the co-req Language Environment APAR PM80361 for more information about this enhancement. -The DTST transaction has been modified to write messages to the operator log when a user changes storage. These messages are intended to provide an audit trail of DTST storage changes. -DTCU: Fix Targeted Code Coverage command interface. Enhance ProgID support to be similar to ISPF interface. |
| PM65094 | -When using a 62x160 terminal and SET SCREEN 6 SOURCE MONITOR LOG, an overtype of a value in the monitor window is ignored. |
| PM68336 | -If you define a PF-key to be used for scrolling left / right like in ISPF and use them in the monitor window in SCREEN-mode 6 with a 62x160 terminal and SET MON WRAP OFF, the cursor is set back to source window. |
| PM73743 | -ABENDS0C1 in EQA0XCUS + X'2BD8' when Debug Tool tried to call the PLI runtime at enclave termination, but it had already been released. |
| PM74981 | -DTCD abending when trying to delete DTCN profiles. |

EQA1998S - VTAM 3270 ACB error, RC=00000024 EQA1998S - 00040000,00000D9C,00000000 EQA1998S - DLU=EQABD12 EQA9999E - EQA50VIO has detected a VTAM error forcing shutdown of Debug Tool. |
| PM70459 | -ABENDS0C4 in Debug Tool routine EQA00TMM at offset x1BA when LE is active in the enclave when an STIMER macro is encountered. |
| PM72147 | -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. |
| PM72134 | -Remote GUI: LOCAL FILTER menu is bad if codepage is set to 930 because of lower case character. |
| PM72142 | -EQA9999E - Program Check at EQA00KBM+000008CA. EQA9999E - Interrupt Code - 00000004 |
| PM72278 | -Program check occurs in EQA30NTC at offset x'E40' when using MONITOR LIST command. Failing instruction is STore (50302014). |
| PM72101 | -Exclusion of HostBridge programs so HostBridge software can be used when using Debug Tool in a CICS region. |
| PM72337 | -Slow response or performance issue with Debug Tool is caused by a loop in CEEVGUNO, due to a DSA pointing back to itself. |
| PM72751 | -Remote GUI: Codepage 930 causes bad messages in debug console. |

| PM73505 | - Korean parts for PM69668. |
| PM72439 | -Delay Debug: New EQAOPTS DLAYDBGCND command to control CONDITION trapping. |
| PM66203 | -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. -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. -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. -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. -Coverage Utility 'GTarget Create HTML Targeted Coverage Report' has miscellaneous problems when you feed a HTML Targeted Coverage Report back in for another PROGRAM-ID. |
| PM55037 | -Restoring some SET EQUATE commands with quotes from a save settings file does not work. For example, if this is done during a session: SET EQU SETKEY24 = "SET KEYS 24;SET PF1 ""PF1/12"" = SETKEY12" ; then when the session is restored, this error is issued: The partially parsed command is: SET EQUATE SETKEY24 = "SET KEYS 24;SET PF1 " The command element PF1 is invalid. |
| PM62667 | -The Debug Tool PANEL LAYOUT command has problems if the user uses a SET EQUATE to specify new commands of L, M, S or E. |
| PM61419 | -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. |
| PM59170 | -User received EQA2316E 'Variable not found' trying to monitor an expression using remote debugger when C/C++ and the codepage is 0273 (specified via EQAOPTS CODEPAGE). |
| PM62364 | -Debug Tool is passing a bad parameter to EQAUEDAT. |
| PM62423 | -x'68' bytes of subpool 241 storage getmained by the Terminal Interface Manager not freed. |

| PM64262 | -Debug Tool suffers RLCP abend at the end of a debugging session if Omegamon RLIM is active. |
| PM64575 | -CICS: AbendAEIP in EQADCXEC when EQADPFMB data set can not be accessed. |
| PM65475 | -Remote session does not display EQA4027E message. |
| PM66207 | -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). |
| PM66008 | -EQAXOPT NAMES,EXCLUDE,LOADMOD,'XXX*' is not honoring the * wildcard character. |
| PM67282 | -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. |
| PM67425 | -Debug Tool loops when Monitor prefix command is issued. Problem does not occur when screen size is increased. |
| PM67447 | -S206-C0 ABEND if SEQAMOD is in the LINKLIST. |
| PM67665 | -Terminal Interface Monitor screen lost if STORAGE(FD,FB,F9) is used as Language Environment runtime option. |
