Those are good points and something that I thought about. It wouldn't be useful if it didn't work in all environments like ISPF, IPCS, OMVS, etc.
Which means, I think, that one would have to somehow start the exec with the equivalent of TRACE ?I and be able to monitor and control the execution. And at the same time be able to execute immediate commands, say to display or change variables. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shmuel Metz (Seymour J.)

However, if you want something more than a toy then you'd need to do three things that would make it more difficult: 1. Monitor variables against specific values. 2. Run at near full speed in between breakpoints, watchpoints and such. 3. Handle more than just TSO line-mode applications. What do you do if the REXX code you're debugging itself uses ISPF services? What if it's not in a TSO environment at all? at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
