    Hi,

    I am trying to debug a CICS program executed by other users, but I do not want the Debug screen to be displayed.  The idea is to be able to log any necessary details without having to interrupt the users.

    I have tried closing all the screens, but the following message is being generated:

    EQA1002I One window must be open at all times.

    You need a GO at the end of your preference file.    Otherwise it just sits at the first statement.    Other than that it should work.

    Hi,

    That did it.  Jumping in joy - it was a long time coming.

    To really put a cherry on top...  Is it possible to setup only one profile across a CICSPLEX.

    Thank you very much.

    you can have a Global Preference File by making a EQAOPTS member which you can put in all our CICSPLEX CICS regions in the DFHRPL DD.  

    see doc on this in the customization guide:
    EQAXOPT GPFDSN,'GROUP1.COMMON.DTOOL.PREFS'
