PLAYBACK START command
The PLAYBACK
START command suspends normal debugging and informs z/OS® Debugger to prepare
to replay the statements it recorded. When normal debugging is suspended,
all breakpoints are disabled and many commands are unavailable. Use
the STEP and RUNTO commands to navigate
through recorded statements in a forward or backward direction. Backward
is the initial direction of the navigation.
