Setting the display device
When you have created a debugging profile for a compiled language (Language Environment®) 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 profile" page) the same display device will be associated with them all.
Specifying the display device before you make a profile active
Starting with the "List all profiles" page, follow these steps:
- Click on Set compiled display device. CICS® displays the "Set compiled display device" page.
- Complete the details of the display device that you want to associate
with the profile.
- Select "In the future, do not show this page when activating profiles".
- Click the Save and return button. CICS saves the display
device settings, and displays the "List all profiles" page.
The "Set compiled display device" page will not be displayed when
you activate profiles; the settings you have supplied will be applied to all
profiles for compiled language (Language Environment) programs when you activate
them.
Specifying the display device when you make a profile active
Starting with the "List all profiles" page, follow these steps:
- Click on Set compiled display device. CICS displays the "Set compiled display device" page.
- Complete the details of the display device that you want to associate
with the profile.
- Using the checkbox, deselect "In the future, do not show this page when
activating profiles".
- Click the Save and return button. CICS saves the display
device settings, and displays the "List all profiles" page.
CICS will display the "Set compiled display device" page whenever
you activate profiles for compiled language (Language Environment) profiles. The page 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.
- Click the Save and return button. CICS saves the display
device settings, and displays the "List all profiles" page.
