Using COBOL variables with z/OS Debugger

z/OS® Debugger can process all variable types valid in the COBOL language.

For programs compiled with Enterprise COBOL for z/OS Version 6 Release 2 or earlier, the decimal point is always a period for numeric constants and variables. The DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA clause has no effect.

In addition to being allowed to assign values to variables and display the values of variables during your session, you can declare session variables to suit your testing needs.
