Hi All,

I was able to prepare a Cobol DB2 program for debugging with the IBM Debug Tool. I was also able to prepare a setup file, however, when I try to run it, the program returns a RC = -1 and all is displayed is END***, the source is never displayed. Any ideas? I have followed all the instructions as to how to prepare the program for use but I cannot get it to work. Please Help!

Thanks in advance

Hello,

There should be more diagnostic information available than just the rc=1.

You need to post the output from the problem run (including message ids).

By this, what exactly do you mean? If you're an Application Develpoer, you'd never need to create this file. Or did you mean, the "set-up" file has the code for the program you neede to debug?

all is displayed is END***

This most possibly means that the Debugger could not map to load-module of your intereset. In other words, that's not present in "set-up files, IBM File-managers is referring to for the debug session". Correct this. Actually, these set-ups are usually site-specific, suggest you talk to some senior around at your shop Or talk to your Site-support if they can help you in this.

I was referring to the DTSF file the you create from scratch or gnerate it by copying the run jcl.
