Batch mode
- This mode is not applicable to IBM® Developer z/OS® (non-Enterprise Edition) or IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack (Wazi Code).
- This mode does not support Go programs and 64-bit programs. Use remote debug mode instead to debug these programs.
You can use a z/OS Debugger commands file to predefine a series of z/OS Debugger commands to be performed on a running application. Neither terminal input, nor user interaction is available during batch mode debugging. When commands in the commands file are processed by the debugger, they can produce messages that are written to the z/OS Debugger log. Log messages are written to a log file for your review at a later time.
The term "batch mode" debugging refers to this debugging method, which is controlled by a predefined script. Note that batch mode debugging is not limited to debugging batch programs. Batch mode can be used with any type of application supported by z/OS Debugger, including online applications running under CICS®, IMS/TM, or TSO.
