For assembler I still use TEST mostly 

The fact that source doesn’t exist not that big of a deal if you know assembler 
you know object code 

I use 2 tso sessions 1 for source 1 for test 

I have had issues debugging with xdc in xmem state 

Though in problem state there doesn’t seem to be any issues 


Thanks
