CACHENUM

To reduce CPU consumption, z/OS® Debugger stores information about the application programs being debugged in a cache. By default, for each debug session, z/OS Debugger stores the information for a maximum of 10 programs. Application programs that do a LINK, LOAD, or XCTL to more than 10 programs can degrade the debugger's CPU performance. You can enhance the debugger's CPU performance for these application programs by specifying an increased CACHENUM value in EQAOPTS. An increased value causes z/OS Debugger to use more storage for each debugging session.

The following diagram describes the syntax of the CACHENUM command:
