APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In RDz v9.5.1.3 ther is a change from previous versions that
  generates
  wrong <NM2> tag.
  
  Prior to RDz 9513, the Remote DB2 Application and Remote IMS
  Application
  debug configurations generated the following tag in the EQAUOPTS
  file:
  <PGM>program
  
  After the update to RDz 9513, the debug configurations generate
  the tag
  <NM2>*,program
  
  However, the field in the debug configurations is labeled Load
  Module
  (not program), which is conflicting and should produce:
  <NM2>modulename,*
  
  There is no way to specify <NM2>modulename,program
  as per the format of the EQAUOPTS file.
  

Local fix

• Manually change EQUAOPTS after generation.
  

Problem summary

• When using the Remote DB2 Application or Remote IMS Application
  debug configurations in RDz, there is no way to specify module
  and program, such that
  <NM2>modulename,program
  is generated in the remote debug profile (the EQAUOPTS file).
  

Problem conclusion

• The Remote DB2 Application or Remote IMS Application debug
  configurations have been adjusted as follows:
  When a user specifies modules seperated by comma (,) as per the
  user interface
  ie MODULE1,MODULE2
  The following will be generated:
  <NM2>MODULE1,*
  <NM2>MODULE2,*
  In the remote debug profile (the EQAUOPTS file)
  If a user wishes to specify program, then they must also specify
  module name, and use semi-colon(;) as separator. For example:
  1) To specify PROGRAM1 with no module:
  *;PROGRAM1
  which will generate:
  <NM2>*,PROGRAM1
  2) To specify several modules and programs,in different
  combinations:
  *;PROGRAM1,MODULE2;PROGRAM2,MODULE3
  which will generate:
  <NM2>*,PROGRAM1
  <NM2>MODULE2,PROGRAM3
  <NM2>MODULE3,*
