IBM Debug: SKIP an instruction permanently

In Compuware's Xpediter there is an option to suppress a statement during a compile session.
This is calles SKIP Breakpoint.

Please add an option to jump over a specific instruction without stopping.

    Please: Do not change an RFE state to "delivered" as long there is no way to "reconsider" it, if IBMs "delivered" is not, what the requester has requested. I know that you might want to improve your statistics but if so open reconsideration or better contact the requestor before adding a status, that is not correct.

    Hello IBM,

    This RFE has not been delivered!!
    The function JUMPTO does not help in this case. We ask for a permanent "deletion" of a statement during a debug view. We don't want to stop at that instruction, we want to ignore it. JUMPTO needs to be issued each time you run to that instruction and stops the debugger. This is not what we aim with this RFE!!!

    This feature exists by using the JUMPTO breakpoint action
