Symbolic debug data sets z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II SC19-3628-00 |
|
If you want to run COBOL interactive debug on a program compiled
with the OS/VS COBOL compiler, you must use the Data Set utility (option
3.2) to allocate a symbolic debug data set before compiling the program.
Then, when you compile the program, enter TEST in the Test field on
the Foreground OS/VS COBOL Compile panel. The TEST parameter generates
the debug output, which ISPF stores in the symbolic debug data set
you allocated.
Note: You do not need to allocate a symbolic debug
data set for programs compiled with VS COBOL II because the debug
output, if requested, is stored in the OBJECT module, which ISPF generates
automatically.
When you allocate the data set, specify the same name as the data
set that contains your COBOL program, but:
Use these values to allocate symbolic debug data sets:
For partitioned data sets, including ISPF libraries, the debug output is stored in a member with the same name as the input member. For sequential data sets, the debug output is stored in a sequential data set. When you run COBOL interactive debug, the names you put in the Prog ID field on the COBOL Interactive Debug panel must be the same as the input member names if you are to create a correct SYM data set. |
