Creating the setup file

You can have several setup files, but you must create them one at a time. To create a setup file, do the following steps:

  1. From the IBM® z/OS® Debugger Utilities panel, select the z/OS Debugger Setup File option.
  2. In the z/OS Debugger Foreground – Edit Setup File panel, type the name of the new setup file in the Setup File Library or Other Data Set Name field. Do not specify a member name if you are creating a sequential data set. If you are creating a setup file for a Db2® program, select the Initialize New setup file for Db2 field. Press Enter.
  3. A panel similar to the ISPF 3.2 "Allocate New Data Set" panel appears when you enter the name of the new set up file in the Other Data Set Name field. You can modify the default allocation parameters. Enter the END command or press PF3 to continue.
  4. The Edit – Edit Setup File panel appears. You can enter file allocation statements, run-time options, and program parameters.
