IBM Debug Tool and CICS

We're running the IBM Debug TRool for z/OS version 13.1 under CICS/TS 4.2. We have no problems using it with assembler programs. However, we have assembler modules that setup the lu6.2 environment and then call "C" programs compiled under v 1.13 z/OS XL C. I can see when the load module is accessed, but cannot get into the source via the debugging screen to set breakpoints, etc. Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Bruce and welcome to the Forums.

Hi Anuj,
I've already tried the first two examples but not the last. I'll have another shot with it tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I plan to rerun the "C" verification module from the installation datasets to double-check that I didn't do anything stupid during the Debug Tool installation. If all is well, I'll create a quick & dirty test program in "C", tie it as the primary program in a transaction and see if I can debug the source. If so, I'll then call it from an asm program using the standard "EXEC CICS LINK" command. If that works, I'll try the same thing using our own "weird" sequence. Unfortunately, the product I support has code written 20 years ago by a couple of people who thought they were "clever". We've been paying for it ever since (sigh).
Thanks,
Bruce

And I thought being "clever" was something invented in 21st century!
Back to the topic - once you get through it, please tell us too how it goes, we'll also learn.

Thanks for a REALLY good laugh this morning!
FORTRAN identity array initialization snippet I ran across in college, lo these many years ago:
Code: Select all
DO 10 I=1,NROWS
DO 10 J=1,NCOLS
10 ARRAY (I, J) = (I / J) * (J / I)

It's been three days (including 18th) you've posted it Robert - and I'm still thinking that should I call it "matrix" and not array and if Matrix -- dialogues from Movie matrix comes to mind:
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: I know. That's why it's going to work.
