Re: Debug SVC

2012-07-20 Thread McKown, John
You really need a special class of debugger for SVC and other system level functions, such a PC code and SRB code. Many seem to love z/XDC from ColeSoft. I have no experience with it. I am doing some testing of another product, but I don't think it's available yet. So I won't mention the name.

The best way is to run under z/VM. Set all processors off line except for one, and you can step through the code. I'm never used z/XDC to debug an SVC. It would be interesting to hear what Dave Cole has to say. Tom - Original Message - From: McKown, John

Tom, z/XDC can be used to debug many System SVCs as well as any/all user SVCs. It also can be used to debug PC routines (all types and environments) and SRB routines, system and product exit routines, and pretty much anything else that runs in z/OS. Dave At 7/20/2012 09:39 AM, Tom Harper
