Starting IBM z/OS Debugger Utilities

IBM® z/OS® Debugger Utilities can be started in one of the following ways:

  • If an option was installed to access the IBM z/OS Debugger Utilities primary options ISPF panel from an existing panel, then select that option by using instructions from the installer.
  • If the z/OS Debugger data sets were installed into your normal logon procedure, enter the following command from the ISPF Command Shell panel (by default set as option 6):
    EQASTART NATLANG(language_id)
  • If z/OS Debugger was not installed in your ISPF environment, enter this command from the ISPF Command Shell panel (by default set as option 6):
    EX 'hlq.SEQAEXEC(EQASTART)' 'NATLANG(language_id)'

To determine which method to use on your system, contact your system administrator.

NATLANG(language_id) is optional. If you specify NATLANG(language_id), your settings are remembered by EQASTART and become the default on subsequent starts of EQASTART when you do not specify parameters.
