SUBSYS

If both of the following conditions apply at your site, you need to use the EQAOPTS SUBSYS command:

  • The source code is managed by a library system that requires that you specify the SUBSYS=library_subsystem_name allocation parameter when you allocate a data set.
  • Your users are debugging C or C++ programs without using the EQAOPTS MDBG command or debugging Enterprise PL/I programs compiled without the SEPARATE suboption of the TEST compiler option.

In this case, you must run z/OS® Debugger and the specified subsystem on the same system.

You cannot use SUBSYS to debug programs that run under CICS®.

The following diagram describes the syntax of the SUBSYS command:
