Remote debug mode supports 64-bit COBOL, PL/I, and C/C++ programs with some limitations.

Subsystems IMS, Db2®, and CICS® are not supported.

The following functions are not supported for 64-bit COBOL, PL/I, and C/C++ programs:
  • The EQAUEDAT user exit, EQA_DBG_PATH environment variable, and EQA_SRC_PATH environment variable
  • Language Environment® user exit (CEEBXITA)
  • TEST (HOOK), or compiled in hooks
The following functions are not supported for 64-bit PL/I programs:
  • Code Coverage
  • Delay debug
  • CEETEST
  • Jump to
  • Playback
  • Visual debug
  • Source breakpoints
  • TEST(SEPARATE)
  • TEST(SOURCE)

    • SET DYNDEBUG
  • EQAOPTS commands:
    • EQAQPP
    • DLAYDBGCND
