Deepa Currently I am using Debugger tool gor Debugging CICS
Programs.
Debugger Tool setup Process:
1. Complie the CICS program, which you want to DEBUG with
debug option
2. Next you need to put the new copy of your CICS progrm
using the below command
CEMT S PROG(Progname) NEWC
3. Give command DTCN to intiate DEBUGGER tool
4. Enter Progname or Trans. ID. Then Press PF4 to SAVE and
press PF3 to EXIT
5. Go to the screen which you have complied with debug
option, the compiled program will
come automatically.
Following commands can be used in DEBUGGER
SET AUTO - To see the values of current varaibles
PF2 - For line by line execution
PF9 - For Break point to Break Point execution
PF6 - To set up or clear off break point
LIST VAR - To List variables
To execute Called programs - we nee to compile them with
DEBUG option and then execute
