  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After applying ptf UI49744 to COBOL, Debug Tool is not being
    invoked.
    

Local fix

  • Use LE run-time option CBLPSHPOP(ON)
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5+ users using Debug Tool  *
    *                 under CICS with CBLPSHPOP(OFF) runtime       *
    *                 option in effect.                            *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Debug Tool does not start: After        *
    *                      relinking the bootstrap routines        *
    *                      IGZXBST1, IGZXBST2, or IGZXBST3         *
    *                      provided by APAR PI85875, Debug Tool    *
    *                      may fail to start a debugging session   *
    *                      under CICS when the LE runtime option   *
    *                      CBLPSHPOP(OFF) is in effect.            *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    APAR PI85875 improved dynamic call performance under CICS, by
    reducing the path length required to start a called program
    under CICS when CBLPSHPOP(OFF) is in effect. This also
    inadvertently disabled debugging with Debug Tool in some
    instances, for example, when a DTCN debug profile is setup to
    start a debugging session when a specific COBOL program is
    entered.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The bootstrap routines have been corrected to allow for
    debugging with Debug Tool under CICS with CBLPSHPOP(OFF).
