Modifying variables or storage by typing over an existing value

To modify the value of a variable by typing over the existing value in the Monitor window, do the following steps:

  1. Move the cursor to the existing value. If the part of value you that want to modify is out of screen, use the SCROLL Monitor value area function (available with the SET MONITOR WRAP OFF command) and move the cursor to the position of existing value.
  2. Type in the new value. Black vertical bars mark the area where you can type in your new value; you cannot type anything before and including the left vertical bar nor can you type anything including and after the right vertical bar.
  3. Press Enter.

    z/OS® Debugger modifies the variable or storage. The command that z/OS Debugger generated to modify the variable or storage is stored in the log file.
