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.

Add sysdebug support to IDz 14 standard mode

Debugging with MFI in a CICS PLEX environment

Provide a STEP OVER command that bypasses the code to be executed

We'd like to see the STEP OVER command bypass the code to be executed when issues. We currently accomplish the function we are looking for by using the JUMP TO Location command, but would like to see an more intuitive solution.
