RE: how to debug in cobol400

Hello,

Initially, you have to compile the COBOL code using *SRCDBG option for
source listing options. After taking 14 on the source and F4, followed by
F10, we get additional parameters. In additional parameters, the first input
capable field is source listing option.

Then use the command STRISDB PGM (Program name) UPDPROD (*YES) INVPGM (*YES)
to start your debug session.

For step execution use <F5>.

To set a debug point, use <F6> on the program line.

To run to the debug point, use <F17> (Shift + F5)

You can skip certain perform routines and jump to next execution steps using
<F13> (Shift + F1).

To watch the variables, use W 'variable name' on the debug command line.

To display the variables, use D 'variable name' on the debug command line.

Hope the above points help you...
Please mail back for further queries.

Regards,
