Customizing Non-CICS Debug Session Start and Stop Message Viewer

The Non-CICS Debug Session Start and Stop Messages Viewer utility allows users to browse debug session start and stop messages. It helps you track debug sessions. You can set the value of parameters for the users by taking the following steps:
  1. Review the parameters that are described in Table 1. Verify that you have all the information to specify the value for the parameters. See the EQAZDSYS member of the hlq.SEQATLIB data set for the parameter and the syntax convention.
  2. Edit the EQAZDSYS1 member of the hlq.SEQATLIB data set. Modify the parameters that are required by your site. You can add parameters by doing one of the following alternatives:
    • Use the INCLUDE 'any.data.set.name'; statement to include statements from a data set that you created.
    • Use the INCLUDE membername; statement to include parameters from other members in the hlq.SEQATLIB data set.
If your application programmers use terminals that cannot display text in mixed-case English, enter parameters and their values in uppercase English.

See STARTSTOPMSGDSN for information on how to specify this data set name for debugger sessions.
