expression

An expression is a combination of references and operators that result in a value. For example, it can be a single constant, a program, session, or z/OS® Debugger variable, a built-in function reference, or a combination of constants, variables, and built-in function references, or operators and punctuation (such as parentheses).

Particular rules for forming an expression depend on the current programming language setting and what release level of the language run-time library under which z/OS Debugger is running. For example, if you upgrade your version of the HLL compiler without upgrading your version of z/OS Debugger, certain application programming interface inconsistencies might exist.

You can use expressions for only variables contained in the current enclave.
