DLAYDBG

You can specify this command only in the EQAOPTS load module. The only exception to this rule is a transaction executing in a private message region under the IMS Transaction Isolation Facility, which accepts this command in EQAOPTS DD as well.

You can specify this command to enable z/OS® Debugger to delay the starting of a debug session until z/OS Debugger recognizes a certain program name or C function name (compile unit) (along with an optional load module name).

This command can be used only in the non-CICS environments.

The following list describes the parameters of the DLAYDBG command:
NO
Indicates that you do not want delay debug enabled; this is the default value.
YES

If you choose to implement this option, users who want to use this option must create the delay debug profile as a physical sequential data set by using the option B of the IBM® z/OS Debugger Utilities: Delay Debug Profile.

Usage notes

  • This command does not support 64-bit programs.
