NAMES

The topic Solving Problems in Complex Applications in the IBM® z/OS® Debugger User's Guide in the describes how the NAMES command can be used to perform several specific functions dealing with load module and compile unit names recognized by z/OS Debugger. However, the NAMES command cannot be used to alter the behavior of load module or compile unit names that have already been seen by z/OS Debugger at the time the NAMES command is processed.

If it becomes necessary to perform these functions on the initial load module processed by z/OS Debugger or on any of the compile units contained in that load module, you must provide the information (that would otherwise have been specified using the NAMES command) through the EQAOPTS NAMES command.

One or more invocations of the EQAOPTS NAMES command can be used for this purpose.

The following diagram describes the syntax of the NAMES command:

Each of these fields corresponds to the similar parameter in the z/OS Debugger NAMES command. If you use an asterisk (*) in pattern to indicate a wildcard, you must enclose pattern in apostrophes.
