SAVEBPDSN, SAVESETDSN

You can modify the default names of the data sets used to save and restore settings and breakpoints, monitor values, and LOADDEBUGDATA (LDD) specifications. The following list describes the initial default names:
  • For settings: userid.DBGTOOL.SAVESETS
  • For breakpoints, monitor values, and LOADDEBUGDATA (LDD) specifications: userid.DBGTOOL.SAVEBPS

To change the default name for either or both of these data sets, you need to specify the EQAOPTS SAVESETDSN and SAVEBPDSN commands, along with a corresponding naming pattern for the data set.

The following diagram describes the syntax of the SAVESETDSN and SAVEBPDSN commands:

file_name_pattern
Specifies a naming pattern for the data set that stores this information.

In most environments, you should choose one of the following rules for the naming pattern:

  • Any data set name that includes &&USERID. as one of the qualifiers. z/OS® Debugger substitutes the user ID of the current user for this qualifier when it creates the data set.
  • A DD name (Reminder: DD names are not supported under CICS®)
  • The string NULLFILE to indicate that saving and restoring this information is not supported

Examples

EQAXOPT SAVESETDSN,'CICS.DTDATA.&&USERID.SAVSET'
EQAXOPT SAVEBPDSN,'&&USERID.USERDATA.DTOOL.SAVBPMON';
