Setting the display device
When you have created a debugging profile for a compiled language program,
but before you can start debugging the application programs defined in the
profile, you must specify the display device with which you will interact
with the debugger. You can use:
- a 3270 terminal
- a debugging tool on a workstation.
The display device becomes associated with a debugging profile when you
activate the profile, and remains associated with the profile until you make
the profile inactive.
You can choose when you specify the display device:
- You can specify the display device before you
make a profile active. The same display device will be associated with each
profile that you subsequently make active.
- You can specify the display device when you
make a profile active. The same display device will be associated with the
profile that is made active. If you make more than one profile active at the
same time (by selecting a number of profiles on the "List Debugging Profiles" screen) the same display device will be associated with them all.
Specifying the display device before you make a profile active
Starting with the "List Debugging Profiles" screen, follow these steps:
- Press PF9 to display the "Set Compiled Debugging Display Device" screen.
- Complete the details of the display device that you want to associate
with the profile.
- Type "No" in the "Display this panel on compiled profile activation" field.
- Press ENTER. CICS saves the display device settings, and displays the "List Debugging Profiles" screen.
The "Set Compiled Debugging Display Device" screen will not be displayed
when you activate profiles; the settings you have supplied will be applied
to all compiled language profiles when you activate them.
Specifying the display device when you make a profile active
Starting with the "List Debugging Profiles" screen, follow these steps:
- Press PF9 to display the "Set Compiled Debugging Display Device" screen.
- Complete the details of the display device that you want to associate
with the profile.
- Type "Yes" (the default value) in the "Display this panel on compiled
profile activation" field.
- Press ENTER. CICS saves the display device settings, and displays the "List Debugging Profiles" screen.
CICS will display the "Set Compiled Debugging Display Device" screen
whenever you activate profiles for compiled language programs. The screen
is initialized with the last settings you supplied. To change the settings:
- Change any details of the display device that you want to associate with
the set of profiles that is being activated.
- Press ENTER. The display device settings are saved, and associated with
the profile. CICS displays the "List Debugging Profiles" screen.
