Hello everyone

I started to code in cobol since 6 month ago, I'm from Venezuela. I used to compile the programs from x3670 terminal emulator using tso ispf endevor, etc. Now, I'm using IDZ, we need to do everything from there and not using the terminal. I already know to compile cobol from there and also did a ztrial to learng basics concepts of IDZ, in that trial I learned how to  debugging and visualize variables, put break points, etc. 

The thing is that I haven't been able to figure out how to run the dubugging in IDZ from where I currently work. In the trial just by placing on the job card

//CEEOPTS DD *
     TEST(,,,TCPIP&ip%port:)

The debugging was executed, but I put the values and it doesn't work, I don't know if I should do other configurations. If it is useful, when I compile in cobol I have these TEST configuration

  NOTERM
    TEST(NOEJPD,DWARF,SOURCE,NOSEPARATE)
  NOTHREAD

Excuse my bad english, I'm in a learning process, but in conclusion, my problem is that I can't get idz debugging to work when I run a program in cobol 6.

Hi Yonder,

Please can you take a look at this website in the meantime https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/developer-for-zos/16.0?topic=eclipse-using-zos-debugger ,

Thank you!

@Chandni Dinani Can someone from the team help Yonder with his question about debugging using IDz. 

@SUDHARSANA SRINIVASAN thank you, I was correct with my job card, It didn't work because some configurations were needed by the system programmers, but now I can debug perfectly from idz. 

That's awesome Yonder. Thanks for being part of the New to zSystems community and bringing your questions and sharing your experience and work with COBOL with the community.
