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 profile screen) the same display device will be associated with them all.
