Enabling debugging in full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager

Note: This chapter is not applicable to IBM® Developer z/OS® (non-Enterprise Edition) or IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack (Wazi Code).

To enable users to debug the following types of programs while using a 3270-type terminal, you need to enable full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager:

Batch programs
TSO programs (using a separate terminal for debugging)
Programs running under UNIX System Services
Db2® stored procedures
IMS programs

This topic focuses on setting up the Terminal Interface Manager to enable a terminal session that can be used to debug these types of programs in full-screen mode. To set up a dedicated terminal without using Terminal Interface Manager, see Enabling debugging in full-screen mode using a dedicated terminal.

To understand how a user and z/OS Debugger interact with the Terminal Interface Manager, see How users start a full-screen mode debug session with the Terminal Interface Manager.

To enable debugging in full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager, see Enabling full-screen mode using the Terminal Interface Manager. If you are running the Terminal Interface Manager on a VTAM® network with multiple LPARs, see Example: Defining the VTAM EQAMVnnn and Terminal Interface Manager APPL definition statements when z/OS Debugger runs on four LPARs for variations on the instructions.
