This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Z Software products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

Context: see Preferences ? EGL ? Debug ? Debug Behaviour Mapping (Called Program)
During debug, when a call statement is about to be executed, the debugger checks the debug behaviour mapping to decide how to resolve the called program.
When ?source? is the mapping mode that fits the program, the following is the implemented:
1. The debugger looks for the EGL Source code of the called program. If the EGL Source is found, this source code will be loaded in the debugger.
2. If the source is not found, the debugger suggests to look for the ?generated? (mapping mode) instead.
Our RFE is that we can choose what the mapping mode for ?2. ? is.
We're eager to implement your IMS Debug solution, but we'll need this behaviour in order to do so:
1. The debugger looks for the EGL Source code of the called program. If the EGL Source is found, this source code will be loaded in the debugger.
2. If the source is not found, the debugger suggests to look for the ?IMS Debug? (mapping mode) instead.
Suggestions on implementation
-----------------------------
1. An implementation could be a dropdown list ?Alternative mapping mode when the EGL Source code cannot be found?. This would have at least 2 available options:
? Generated
? IMS Debug
2. Another implementation could be extra mapping modes:
? source if present, otherwise IMS Debug
? source if present, otherwise Generated (as source is currently implemented)
