Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users who use the z/OS Debugger 16.0.x host debug engine     *
  * with Eclipse 15.0.x products.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The 16.0.x  z/OS Debugger engine differentiates between      *
  * source and listing in the debug information, but the Eclipse *
  * client in v15 does not append a file extension for listings. *
  * This results in the Debugger Editor being used for the debug *
  * session, and not the language editors, such as COBOL Editor  *
  * or PLI Editor..                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The debug UI will now append extensions to listings when using
  the z/OS Debugger, allowing Eclipse to select the appropriate
  language editor during the debug session.
  
  This problem is fixed in 15.0.7 for the following products:
  - IBM Debug for z/OS
  - IBM Developer for z/OS
  - IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition
