Invoking the IBM z/OS Debugger JCL Wizard

You can invoke the IBM z/OS® Debugger JCL Wizard when you are editing or viewing JCL, a procedure, or an include member in ISPF.

Your environment might be customized to use another name rather than EQAJCL, such as DEBUG. In this documentation, the name EQAJCL is used to invoke the wizard.

  1. In ISPF Edit or Browse, enter EQAJCL and press Enter to continue. In the IBM z/OS Debugger JCL Wizard, always press ENTER to save your selection and continue to the next panel.
    Enter the command to invoke the IBM z/OS Debugger JCL Wizard.
  2. The z/OS Debugger JCL Wizard Option Selection panel is displayed for you to choose an option.

  3. Choose the option that you want. For example, if you want to create JCL or procedure lines to invoke a debug session on a remote debugger with Debug Manager, enter G2. Alternatively, you can enter EQAJCL G2 in ISPF Edit or Browse to skip the z/OS Debugger JCL Wizard Option Selection panel and open the parameters panel for the selected option directly.
