Re: IBM Debug Tool in pure batch
Have you tried the non-COBOL methods - put a hyphen (-) or backslash (\) on the line to continue? (the manual says that the backslash is only for C/C++). Or, maybe the COBOL method needs some sequence numbers in columns 1-6? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: IBM Debug Tool in pure batch
-Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Michael Bradley I'm trying to use the IBM Debug Tool to list some data names during a Batch run, with the DT commands in INSPIN, and capturing the responses in INSPLOG. All is well, until I attempt to continue a command onto a second line. Since it's a COBOL program that's running, I start the command in 8, and attempt to continue the statement onto the next line by using a hyphen '-' in column 7 of the continuing line. DT's response is an objection to the second line. Does anyone have experience continuing commands onto another line in the input? I do not, but if you are entering commands for DT, you should enter them in the format expected by DT. The convention for COBOL compile-time line continuation apparently is not the convention expected by DT. -jc- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: IBM Debug Tool in pure batch
I don't have specific experience with this, but when I look at an example in the user manual, I noticed that there is no hyphen on the continuations. In fact, I found elsewhere that the commands are free form and can start in column 1. A command is terminated by a semicolon ';'. I suspect that if you simply remove the hyphen, you will not get the errors.

IBM Debug Tool in pure batch
I haven't seen the actual problem code - but if it follows (normal) COBOL rules, there would be a difference between: LIST ALL (on two lines with no hyphen) versus LI -ST all (on two lines with a hyphen in column 7 of the continuation line). One uses the hyphen to continue in the middle of a word - but not when there is a space between two words. The rules for continued literals are even a little more complex (but well known to COBOL programmers) Jeff Holst jeff.ho...@fiserv.com wrote in message news:listserv%200901011829055896.0...@bama.ua.edu...

Fw: IBM Debug Tool in pure batch
According to: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/eqa9ug00/5.1.4 It looks like you are doing this correctly. Assuming you are current on maintenance, I would report this to the IBM support center (and reference the documentation above).
