Visual debugging
Visual debugging provides the Visual Debug view for you to interact with your COBOL or PL/I debug session. With this view, you can visualize the stack trace, set breakpoints, and run to a selected call path.
Notes:
- Visual debugging is not available in IBM® Debug for z/OS®.
- To use the Visual Debug view on Linux, a default browser needs to be installed for your Linux operating system.
- In Entry mode, Visual Debug is not supported for COBOL load modules compiled with OPT .
- Visual Debug does not support COBOL user defined functions.
In COBOL, the stack trace represents the paragraph call chain. In PL/I, the stack trace represents the procedure call chain.
The children topics demonstrate how to debug a sample COBOL program
called SAM1.
