Link-editing EQADCCXT into your program

z/OS® Debugger provides a Language Environment® CEEBXITA assembler exit called EQADCCXT to help you activate, by using the DTCN transaction, a debugging session under CICS®. You do not need to use this exit if you are running any of the following options:

  • You are using the DTCN transaction and you are debugging non-Language Environment Assembler programs.
  • You are using the DTCN transaction and you are debugging COBOL programs, or PL/I programs in the following situation:
    • Compiled with Enterprise PL/I for z/OS, Version 3 Release 4 with the PTF for APAR PK03264 applied, or later

When you use EQADCCXT, be aware of the following conditions:

  • If your site does not use an Language Environment assembler exit (CEEBXITA), then link-edit member EQADCCXT, which contains the CSECT CEEBXITA and is in library hlq.SEQAMOD, into your main program.
  • If your site uses an existing CEEBXITA, the EQADCCXT exit provided by z/OS Debugger must be merged with it. The source for EQADCCXT is in hlq.SEQASAMP(EQADCCXT). Link the merged exit into your main program.

After you link-edit your program, use the DTCN transaction to create a profile that specifies the combination of resources that you want to debug. See Creating and storing a DTCN profile.
