Only close scrutiny of the generated COBOL! [:(]

Hi there,

I've done it, you can use any debugging tool you have since after you generate the code it's like any other complicated cobol program.
I DS6 you can generate the code with debug information but I did not find it very helpful, I prephare to add my own DISPALY's )

I suggest you add to your JCL SYSDBOUT and SYSABOUT cards, it is very helpful in case you get 0C7 abort.


HTH,

Hi, Amos. Thanks! Could you give me some specifics?
Which debugger did you use? (Xpediter?, IBM Debug?)
Is there something special that you added to the Compile JCL?
Did you use the DataStage generated compile JCL or did you use
your own?

FYI, when I tried Xpediter, the debugger would work until the first
call of a 'DS***' routine, ie 'DSINIT'.

Thanks sharing.

Ed
