Linking DB2 programs for debugging

To debug DB2® programs, you must link the output from the compiler into your program load library. You can include the user runtime options module, CEEUOPT, by doing the following:

1. Find the user runtime options program CEEUOPT in the Language Environment® SCEESAMP library.
2. Change the NOTEST parameter into the desired TEST parameter. For example:

   old:  NOTEST=(ALL,*,PROMPT,INSPPREF),
   new:  TEST=(,*,;,*),

   If you are using remote debug mode, specify the TCPIP suboption, as in the following example:

   TEST=(,,,TCPIP&&9.2404.79%8001:*)

   Note: Double ampersand is required.

   If you are using full-screen mode using a dedicated terminal without Terminal Interface Manager, specify the MFI suboption with a VTAM® LU name, as in the following example:

   Test=(,,,MFI%TRMLU001)

   If you are using full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager, specify the VTAM suboption with your user ID, as in the following example:

   Test=(,,,VTAM%USERABCD)

3. Assemble the CEEUOPT program and keep the object code.
4. Link-edit the CEEUOPT object code with any program to start z/OS® Debugger.

The modified assembler program, CEEUOPT, is shown below.
