Status Not under consideration
Workspace Debug for z/OS

Enahance debugger to load real source for debugging

Opened on behalf of the customer. Here is the description of the issue/problem:

If I use a regular edit session (under z/OS Projects view) to open a C
member then select an include file and press F3, I can open the
selected .H file in that edit session.

If I do the same thing in a Debug Tool by invoking a debug session for
a given module and selecting the same .H file as in the regular edit
session, I get the message "Include file could not be opened".Is this
supposed to work under the Debug Tool session under RD/z? I'm not sure
if I have ever done this under DT before but just under "EDIT".

I note that the PDSE where the .H file resides in in the "User
Libraries" portion of the ELAXFCPC. Is there an equivalent to be
defined under DT to allow a similar opening of the .H file in DT?

Regards,

Kevin

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
