Hi,

When I compile a C program with DEBUG specified, it produces a ".dbg" file containing the DWARF format debugging information needed by the USS dbx debugger.

When I compile a PL/I program with option TEST(ALL,HOOK,SEPARATE), it produces a ".sid" file. Which does not look like the same format at all.

Is there a way to get the PL/I compiler to generate a ".dbg" file usable by the USS dbx debugger?

No, the PL/I compiler won't generate such a file. You could use IBM Debug Tool or the recently announced remote debugger in RDz to debug a USS program compiled by PL/I

You cannot do that. PL/I compiler will not generate .dbg file. However you can use other non remoting debug tool to achieve the same
