Troubleshooting
Problem
How can you query information about a running COBOL program using Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 5.1?
Environment
API enhanced in the Language Environment COBOL runtime library with APAR PM93979.
Resolving The Problem
The Runtime information API, IGZXAPI, described in the COBOL-specific vendor interfaces has been enhanced. This is a loadable module to query information about a running COBOL program.
To help vendor tool programs to find the writable static area, we have added capability in the Runtime Information API routine to locate the WSA of a COBOL V5 program. (Bullet C in the attached document). The API routine also supports querying and updating of File Status variables in a COBOL V5 program. (Bullet D).
The following file contains the documentation related to that API.
