Ending a full-screen debug session

When you have finished debugging your program, you can end your full-screen debug session by using one of the following methods:

Method A
  1. Press PF3 (QUIT) or enter QUIT on the command line.
  2. Type Y to confirm your request and press Enter. Your program stops running.

If you are debugging a CICS® non-Language Environment® assembler or non-Language Environment COBOL program, QUIT ends z/OS® Debugger and the task ends with an ABEND 4038.

Method B
  1. Enter the QQUIT command. You are not prompted to confirm your request to end your debug session. Your program stops running.

If you are debugging a CICS non-Language Environment assembler or non-Language Environment COBOL program, QUIT ends z/OS Debugger and the task ends with an ABEND 4038.

Method C
  1. Enter the QUIT DEBUG or the QUIT DEBUG TASK (CICS only) command.
  2. Type Y to confirm your request and press Enter. z/OS Debugger ends and your program continues running.
