number
A decimal number between 0 and 9999; it must be a multiple of 0.5.

Usage notes

  • If you are debugging a CICS® program, choose your pace carefully. After animated execution begins, you might not be able to stop it. See the IBM® z/OS® Debugger User's Guide for information about requesting an attention interrupt during interactive sessions.
  • Associated with the SET PACE command is the STEP command. Animated execution is achieved by defining a PACE and then issuing a STEP n command where n is the number of steps to be seen in animated mode. STEP * can be used to see all steps to the next breakpoint in animated mode.
  • When PACE is set to 0, no animation occurs.

Example

Set the animated execution pace to 1.5 steps per second. 
SET PACE 1.5;
