Managing runtime options for IMSplex users by using IBM z/OS Debugger Utilities

Note: This section is not applicable to IBM® Developer z/OS® (non-Enterprise Edition).

This topic describes how to add, delete, or modify TEST runtime options that are stored in the IMS Language Environment® runtime parameter repository. To manage the items in this repository, do the following steps:

  1. From the main IBM z/OS Debugger Utilities panel (EQA@PRIM), type 4 in the Option line and press Enter.
  2. In the Manage IMS Programs panel (EQAPRIS), type 1 in the Option line and press Enter.
  3. In the Manage LE Runtime Options in IMS panel (EQAPRI), type in the IMSplex ID and optional qualifiers. IBM z/OS Debugger Utilities uses this information to search through the IMS Language Environment runtime parameter repository and find the entries that most closely match the information you typed in. You can use wild cards (* and %) to increase the chances of a match. After you type in your search criteria, press Enter.
  4. In the Edit LE Runtime Options Entries in IMS panel (EQAPRIM), a table displays all the entries found in the IMS Language Environment runtime parameter repository that most closely match your search criteria. You can do the following tasks in this panel:
    • Delete an entry.
    • Add a new entry.
    • Edit an existing entry.
    • Copy an existing entry.
    For more information about a command or field, press PF1 to display a help panel.
  5. After you finish making your changes, press PF3 to save your changes and close the panel that is displayed. If necessary, press the PF3 repeatedly to close other panels until you reach the Manage IMS Programs panel (EQAPRIS).
