Delay debug does not behave like CICS debug

Hi,


we found some weird difference in behaviour of z/OS Debugger between CICS and non-CICS profiles (delay debug).

Assuming we have a program call chain of PROGA calling PROGB and defining both programs in the debugger profiles.


Behaviour in CICS: Debugger stops at every occurence of all programs when developer issues 'Resume' in between.

Bahaviour in batch: Debugger stops at the first program in the list of programs which starts. After issueing 'Resume' the job runs to finish, even if other programs in the profile run in this sequence.


As a developer I would assume both behave the same. Also it would ease debugging multiple programs in batch. By now I have to start debugging first and then add one or more entry breakpoints.
