Preparing an assembler program

To debug an assembler program with the full capabilities of z/OS® Debugger, you need to prepare the program.

  1. Assemble your program with the proper options.
  2. Create the EQALANGX file.
  3. Link-edit your program.

If you use IBM® z/OS Debugger Utilities to prepare your assembler program, you can do steps 1 and 2 in one step.
