Debugging a disassembled program

To debug programs that have been compiled or assembled without debug information, you can use the disassembly view. When you use the disassembly view, symbolic information from the original source program (program variables, labels, and other symbolic references to a section of memory ) is not available. The DYNDEBUG switch must be ON before you use the disassembly view.

If you are not familiar with the program that you are debugging, we recommend that you have a copy of the listing that was created by the compiler or High Level Assembler (HLASM) available while you debug the program. There are no special assembly or compile requirements that the program must comply with to use the disassembly view.
