Hello,

I have been asked few times by new IDz or z/OS Debugger users how to debug a CICS COBOL program from IDz.

I hope this post and attached recording will help answer this question.

Configuration in CICS and installation of the Debug Profile Service can be found at  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQ2R2_14.2.0/com.ibm.debug.cg.doc/cgdita/addsupportdebugprofile.html

For more information on Debug Profiles, see:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQ2R2_14.2.0/com.ibm.debug.pdt.zpcl.doc/topics/cdebugprofilecics.html

For information on Code Coverage, see:

All the best,

Olivier
