Charles, I have spent over 22 years with Compuware Corporation ... many of those years working on Xpediter/CICS. I have never worked for "CA".
Compuware Corporation is NOT abbreviated "CA" - Computer Associates used to be abbreviated "CA" (their name was recently changed to be CA, Inc). CA has never owned/developed any of the Xpediter product line. I must take exception with your posting that inferred Xpediter is - or ever was - a CA product.

I have not used XDC or CA-Xpediter, but I would imagine you could write a debugger in "mostly" Rexx with some assembler. Take a look at the TSO/E Programming Services manual for a discussion of how to write a native TSO full screen program. You will also have to give some thought to the "debugging services" you wish to provide: how you will implement breakpoints, stepping through instructions, and so forth. Also to the various storage and register displays, etc. If I were considering doing this as a commercial product, I would consider - the market for developer tools is always a difficult one - the market for z/OS developer tools is small and shrinking - CA-Xpediter kind of owns the big-deal corporate market space. CA is a tough incumbent to displace. - XDC is pretty established in the "word-of-mouth" market - There are other competitors as well. ASG has a debugger that competes with CA-Xpediter that they got from the Viasoft acquisition. Good luck! The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.
