Allow attribute on LIST

Often, I know that a register points to character data or to an array. I would like a way to specify the data type and a repetition count on the LIST command. It would be nice, but not essential, for the syntax to be modelled on DS syntax in HLASM.

Support debugging specific steps inside a PROC

Given the "Debug as" feature, the debug configuration fails to detect inherited steps when the JCL under test uses a PROC. Only the steps in the main JCL are provided for selection. I suggest to analyse or pre-process the JCL by the debug launch c...
about 1 year ago in Debug for z/OS 0 Not under consideration

RDS (EQARMTD) and zOpenDebug are not currently sysplex-aware, so they can't redirect our debug request, and we cannot always pick up IMS transactions for debug.

We have an issue using the z/OS Debugger in VS Code, due to our setup in Test where we have two LPAR’s in a Sysplex. Since our IMS transactions are automatically placed on either LPAR, we need to be able to pick up the transaction from either LPAR...

Cross debugging

There are some scenarios where the user who is intended to debug some program isn't the one who submits the JCL. Among other situations, this happens when the job is launched from ControlM. In this case, the principal is a service user instead of ...

Omegamon need to start to support the use of SMF

Omegamon is dependent on NMI. This prevent other vendors to send important information to Omegamon. A simpel exempel is the sftp server from CO:Z. It can not use the NMI but can generate SMF 119 records. It is the same information as the FTP serve...

Allow zSecure Alert to run a REXX command when an alert is generated.

Currently Alert will allow us to run a single "TSO/RACF" command. The list of available commands is not fully documented (There is some detail in the documentation under the CMD option on a NEWLIST). However "EXEC" is not one of the allowed comman...
