It is important to understand the difference between
- fully supported
- removed
- available but not supported.
- available but not supported. Menu option removed. (I assume this means
the command is still available)
As in the following at:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.6.0?topic=rdsi5w-commands-from-rational-development-studio-i-5770-wds-option-21-application-development-toolset

with the Interactive Source Debugger (ISDB) are the only functions that
