MOVE command in Remote Debug Console

Hello IBM,

we need the functionality of the MOVE and SET commands for the Remote Debugger's Debug Console. The command is currently supported only in the 3270 Debugger.

    Hi Michael, thank you for clarifying your use case. Indeed our development team has recognized the use of debug commands to automatically pre-execute.
    We are working to support all debug commands for remote debugging.
    You may want to vote and follow https://ibm-z-software-portal.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/DEBUG-I-103, which will include your idea.

    Thank you again for providing us more information.

    We meant the console as we'd like to automate pre-execute some variable manipulation at start of a debug session.

    Therefore it's not sufficient to use the GUI.

    This is a duplicate of https://ibm-z-software-portal.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/DEBUG-I-103

    If you meant to use MOVE and SET commands to change the value during interactive debug session, you may use the functionality of changing value of variable. This is the link on how to Change Variable Value: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/debug-for-zos/16.0?topic=vv-change-variable-value

    Thank you for you suggestion and continued support.
