Passing runtime parameters to z/OS Debugger for non-Language Environment programs under CICS®

When you define your debugging profile using the DTCN Options Panel (PF9), you can pass a limited set of runtime options that will take effect during your debugging session when you debug programs that do not run in Language Environment®. You can pass the following runtime options:

  • TEST/NOTEST: must be TEST
  • TEST LEVEL: must be ALL
  • Commands file
  • Prompt Level: must be PROMPT
  • Preferences file
  • You can also specify the following runtime options in a TEST string:
    • NATLANG: to specify the National Language used to communicate with z/OS® Debugger
    • COUNTRY: to specify a Country Code for z/OS Debugger
    • TRAP: to specify whether z/OS Debugger is to intercept Abends
