The original DEBE was an IPL'able deck of cards. You'd put the deck
in the card reader, dial in the reader's address, and press the LOAD
button (or IPL button or whatever).
IIRC, the original command codes were 2 hex digits that corresponded
to CCW opcodes.
In the early 1970s, while working for Rutgers University, I wrote a
version that would run on MVT. I've since lost track of that program,
but just now a search of my archives found source for "MVSDEBE" that
someone else wrote. From skimming the source, it looks like it does
support the 2-character command codes that SKnutson posted here earlier.

Anybody know where I can find the program specs and variables for
running DEBE (Does Everything But Eat)? I tried an IBM search and
ended up with 147 entries, 2 of which were a great humour bit on
"You Might Be A Mainframer If" and the rest apparently Spanish
language manuals.
