Workspace Debug for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Jun 18, 2012

Support the ATTACH Assembler command with Debug Tool

Debug Tool will not launch into an ATTACHed task in Assembler. NASCO requires this support. The requirement is to debug one of the attached modules at a time. The driver does not require debugging in the same session as the attached modules. Modules which are attached, will call other modules, Debug Tool must be able to debug the attached module, and all application modules called by the attached module. If another attached module is required for debugging, we may require the user to discontinue the debug session, and configure the debug session for another attached module. These load modules are IMS batch modules. The driver will invoke the LOAD EP=IGZERRE in order that COBOL modules can be called in the attached routines.
