z/OS Debugger commands supported in remote debug mode
You can use some z/OS® Debugger commands in remote
debug mode through the following methods:
- Enter these commands through the Debug Engine Command field or the Debug Console Commands window of the remote debugger.
- When you add a breakpoint through the remote debugger, specify these commands in the Action field, which is in the Optional Parameters section of the Add a Breakpoint task.
- Use them in a commands or preferences file.

You can use the following commands in remote debug mode only in the Action
field, which is in the Optional Parameters section of the Add a
Breakpoint task:
You can use the following commands in remote debug mode in the
Action field, which is in the Optional Parameters
section of the Add a Breakpoint task, and in the Startup Commands section of
RD/z Debug Configuration:
Through the Debug Engine Command field or the Debug Console
Commands window, you can view a list of z/OS Debugger commands supported in remote debug mode by
doing one of the following tasks:
- Press Ctrl+SPACE BAR.
- Type in the first few letters of a command name. Press Ctrl+SPACE BAR. A list of z/OS Debugger commands that begin with those same letters is displayed.
z/OS Debugger supports Remote Playback through the Playback Toolbar in the Debug View.
You can display z/OS Debugger variables in remote debug mode. z/OS Debugger reserves variables for its own information. To distinguish z/OS Debugger variables from program variables, the names of z/OS Debugger variables begin with a percent sign. You can access z/OS Debugger variables when you test programs in supported languages. To display the value of a z/OS Debugger variable, add it as a monitor expression in the Monitors view. For more information about z/OS Debugger variables, see z/OS Debugger variables.
Example
If you want to know the value of the PSW when you debug an assembler program, add the following z/OS Debugger variable to the Monitors view:
%PSW
