Debugging PL/I

Top  Previous  Next

PL/I on-line programs can be debugged using Liant Codewatch(tm).

The following steps must be followed to start the interactive debug of an XCICS program :

connect XCICS using X4J
issue "CEDB ON"
wait for CEDB to complete
issue "XANM PLISTOP=<MODULE>" to defined to PL/I entry to break on
read the PID number on the status line of X4J

Once PID is obtained, from a command line session, issue the command

xcw <PID> <MODULE>

This script is facility provided with XFRAME, which starts codewatch and instructs its to attach the specified process, to load defined module and start debugging.

Please refer to your Liant manual for further information about Codewatch(tm).
