    Integrated Debugger should support both notations DBM%USERID and DBM.USERID

    The problem with the terminated communication had to do with Integrated Debuggernot supporting or recognizing DBM.USERID. Because it didn't honor the userid, it defaulted to using the IMS region userid which, hence, caused the failure

    RDz Debug Engine Command should support all commands supported by ISPF DT

    I use Debug Tool as well as RDz Debug. The same commands available to a DT session should work via the Debug Console->Debug Engines Command field. My CMDS file has:AT ENTRY *; This allows me to step through subroutines easily.In DT, I can issue...

    Delay debug does not behave like CICS debug

    Hi, we found some weird difference in behaviour of z/OS Debugger between CICS and non-CICS profiles (delay debug). Assuming we have a program call chain of PROGA calling PROGB and defining both programs in the debugger profiles. Behaviour in CICS:...

    Hovering Over Array Variables During a Remote Debug Session Returns the Subscripted Value

    While using the Remote Debugger, the hover feature should display the value of the array element referenced by the subscript variable. For example, an array called DATA-CHAR consists of five elements containing the following values in order 'A', '...

    Option to ignore future CRRDG7800W messages

    Debug sessions need not be secured and msg "CRRDG7800W debug session not secured" is displayed upon every invocation of a debug session. This is a minor annoyance to developers and also causes CICS transactions to wait on TCPIP indefinitely if the...

    Take Vector Registers into account in the Debug Tool's "Registers"-View

    I am missing the possibility to view the vector registers when debugging an assembler program in batch using Debug Tool. The "Registers"-View from the "Debug"-Category should make the vector registers available for display and changes in their ful...

    Debugger: Displaying Variable content as Hex like in ISPF Editor

    Hi IBM, it would be nice, if the Remote Debugger GUI would be able to display hex values of variables like in ISPF. Samples: A pic 9(4) digit:1234 (original display)----FFFF (first halfbyte)1234 (second halfbyte) B pic 9(9) comp-3 Packed Decimal: ...

    Decision/Branch Level Code Coverage

    Currently, line level coverage is the most specific level of code coverage offered. This is comparable to statement coverage on other platforms. However, to really get a more complete indication of the level of coverage achieved by a testing suite...

    setting default presentation of varaibles in monitor

    there is no support in the debug engine for the remote debug session as you see it in MFI - there is no code to set the default presentation . You can use the memory view but thats the same as changing the presentation for each variable.

    Provide monitor, list, and update capabilities for z13 vector registers

    Provide capabilities to work with vector registers, using commands and features similar to the way that floating point registers can be accessed. 1) For commands that currently support floating point registers by using the %EPR variable, add suppo...
