Use of commands for Debug Tool through RDz

The scenario considered for this request is a developer using IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1 (RDz), with Debug Tool for z/OS V13.1 (DT) to debug programs. In the debugging sessions, they need to execute some Debug Tool commands for specific results. They use the Command line in the GUI to issue the commands. According to the Appendix A in the manual "Debug Tool V13.1-Reference and Messages", not all Debug Tool commands are accepted by RDz. This request refers to the inclusion of two commands: "SET LOG ON fileid" and "USE ddname/dsname" in this command set. The attached file depicts the error messages received when issuing the commands.
