RDZ Debug. Manage compiled language event breakpoints

Consider this code:

call xx();

xx: proc;
dcl i fixed bin(31);
do i = 1 to 100;
put skip data(i);
end;
end xx;

If you run this in the debugger and on the call xx(); statement you press "step over", you will never the less enter the xx procedure, and the cursor will position it self om the "put skip" line having i=60;

This is because an ENDPAGE event is fired after 60 new lines.

In the breakpoints view, when debug session has started, you can press "manage compiled language event breakpoints" and here the default is set to TEST(ALL).
If you change this to TEST(ERROR) or TEST(NONE) , then ENDPAGE is not caught.

We need a preference that allows us to set TEST(ERROR) as the default.

In the above example the consequence is not that big, but if the call is to an external module that has not been compiled with debug info it begins to get messy.

    It's true that TEST(ERROR) is saved for the next debug session when changed by the user.

    In our shop we offer (or rather force) the users to start up whith a pre-configured workspace containing all the settings needed.
    So I would like to now where in the workspace this information is stored. If it is possible to change a xml file or some preference file that will do the trick - but I can figure out where in the workspace this information is stored.

    In RDz the changes made on the "Manage compiled language event..." dialog are global and saved. The changes made to that dialog will be used in the next zOS debug session. So you should only need to set the TEST(ERROR) once and all future debug sessions will use that value. As far as this request is concerned it should work as you requested as long as you are using RDz v7.x and above.

    One thing to note....If you change workspaces it will default back to TEST(ALL) since the profiles are stored in the workspace. If you are NOT seeing the above behaviour then please let us know and we can investigate.
