    Add masks and status to the DTCD parameter

    DTCD currently accepts one of two parameter values - a specific owner ID (the key to the file), or * for all. Judging by its response time (and the results when interrupter after a partial performance), DTCD * goes over the file, record by record,...

    Including program name and other information in the StartStop message information for Debug Tool for z/OS

    As the developers adopt Debug Tool as their development tool for debugging applications and collecting code coverage information, it is important to have the accounting information about who is using the tool, as well as which programs they are wo...

    Debug 3270 IMS application with personal TFORMAT lib in the concatenation

    In the DBB zAppbuild framework for CI/CD a developer can perform a user build on both Cobol sources and MFS sources. In case of Cobol sources this leads to the creation of a load module on a personal load library and in case of an MFS, it leads to...

    Change Debug Tool to allow the remote debugger (RDz) to allow valid Cobol command to MOVE SPACES to GROUP-ITEM

    The Enterprise Cobol compiler (v4.2) allows setting the value of a group item as a standard COBOL statement, but RDz/Debug Tool does not allow it. It begins with a Working Storage definition like this: 01 WS-VARIABLE. 05 WS-ITEM1 PIC 9. 05 WS-ITEM...

    Externalize the PSBNAME for debugging sessions

    Parker Hannifin has requested we add the PSBNAME of the program that is being debugged. This would be very helpful information since the program can be referenced by multiple PSBs. This is especially helpful when debugging IMS MPR programs.

    Debug Tool - add support for protected assembler debugging

    Current the Debug Tool does not support debugging of protected assembler modules making it impossible to debug some of our system exits and applications. I'd rather not have to switch to a product that supports this functionality since our user ba...

    PD Tools Code Coverage Plug - Name in the Code Coverage Report is not persistent

    When you double click on the Code Coverage Report Generation line in the Debug Tool Code Coverage pane, you are presented a Code Coverage Report pane where you enter the name of the code coverage output data set. This name is not persistent. So, w...
