As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each RFE. The offering team has carefully reviewed this RFE and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans within the next 1-2 years, so the RFE will be closed. The request will be kept in RFE system and might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback or voting in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

However, let's take this a bit further, as defined by the RFE 60207. If you enter AT ENTRY program in the debug console, all three fields are populated with the same name. Hence, the program breakpoint stops only when the load module name is the same as the program name. If you enter the very same command, AT ENTRY program in the 3270 interface, Debug Tool will stop at the program regardless of what load module name is used. This is definitely a discrepancy between the interfaces, using the same command. So, the correct solution would be when the pane is presented, only the program name is required. The load module/DLL/executable field should not be required, and the GUI stopping with no name, or * entered as load module name. However, when I tried * for the load module name, the GUI failed to stop at the breakpoint, with the Object/Program/CSECT and Function or Entry point field defined.
I would be happy to demonstrate this for you. Feel free to contact me jimrice@us.ibm.com.
