Changing the default and allowable values in EQACUIDF

The default and allowable values for NATLANG, LOCALE, and LINECOUNT are as follows:
  • NATLANG. The national language, which can be one of the following:
    • Mixed-case English (ENU)
    • Uppercase English (UEN)
    • Japanese (JPN)
    • Korean (KOR)
    See Enabling additional languages for some z/OS Debugger components through EQACUIDF for more information about changing the language for these z/OS® Debugger components.
  • LOCALE. The format of date, time, and numeric values. You can also create date, time, and numeric formats. The default values are as follows:
    • Date format: MM/DD/YYYY
    • Time format: HH:MM:SS
    • Numeric format: 1,234,567.89
  • LINECOUNT. The number of lines (including headings) that print on a page. The default is 66 lines.

If the default values for these parameters are the values that you want to use, you can skip this section.

To change the default values:
  1. Copy the EQACUIDF1 member in the hlq.SEQASAMP data set into another data set.
  2. Follow the instructions that are in the comment sections of the code to modify the copy that you made.
  3. Assemble the modified copy by using the IBM® High Level Assembler and specifying hlq.SEQASAMP as a SYSLIB.
  4. Link edit the resulting object into the private.SEQABMOD data set.
  5. Copy the output load module to hlq.SEQABMOD.

Sample JCL is provided in the EQACUIID member of the hlq.SEQASAMP data set to perform steps 3 and 4.

The SEQABMOD from this version of z/OS Debugger is compatible with earlier versions of z/OS Debugger. If you have multiple versions of z/OS Debugger installed on your system, you need only the SEQABMOD from this version installed in your system link list concatenation.

1 USERMOD EQAUMOD9 is provided for updating EQACUIDF. See SMP/E USERMODs in the IBM z/OS Debugger Customization Guide for an SMP/E USERMOD for this customization.
