PASSPGM

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramPASspgm

The PASSPGM option makes IDF pass program interruptions that are not the result of a PER event to the CMS, z/OS®, or z/VSE® program interrupt handler. Used for debugging exit routines.

Warning: If the target program has not activated an exit routine to trap the interrupt, IDF abends. You may need to re-IPL CMS or logon to TSO again following the debugging session. On z/VSE, PASSPGM occurs immediately on STXIT PC entry. If the STXIT is not present, then IDF traps the program check.
