HLL variables
Some variable references require language-specific evaluation,
such as pointer referencing or subscript evaluation. Once again, the z/OS® Debugger interprets
each case in the manner of the HLL in question. Below is a list of
some of the areas where z/OS Debugger accepts a different form of reference
depending on the current programming language:
- Structure qualification
- C and C++ and PL/I: dot (.) qualification, high-level to low-level
- COBOL:
INorOFkeyword, low-level to high-level
- Subscripting
- C and C++:
name [subscript1][subscript2]... - COBOL and PL/I:
name(subscript1,subscript2,...)
- C and C++:
- Reference modification
- COBOL
name(left-most-character-position: length)
- COBOL
