Workspace Debug for z/OS

z/OS Debugger IMS isolation filter to support 1000 bytes header, offset and length

Currently, z/OS Debugger for IMS permits filtering IMS transactions based on the 32 first bytes of the IMS transaction header (starting from the very first byte). This is very small for us and really not usable as our IMS transactions have a big header, more than 700 bytes, where mostly all the the transactions have the very same content in the beginning of the header of the transaction. Hence, even using the current filter of 32 bytes, Debugger would stop mostly every transaction, so this is not suitable for us. We need Debugger to be able to perform filtering using the first 700 bytes (or 1000 bytes) of the header, to permit setting an specific offset to start the filter, and for an specific length. In other words, we need Debugger for IMS to have something very similar to what it currently does for CICS transactions.
