Closed as program error.
Error description
The legacy COBOL run-time debugger event DpiNotifyNewProgramEntry always returned the compile unit name (PROGRAM-ID) when the compile unit received control, regardless of whether it received control at the primary or at a secondary entry. This is the preferred result, as in some contexts like an IMS region, applications may receive control at a secondary entry point that has the same eg. DLITCBL in each application. If the secondary entry point name is returned, it's not possible to trigger the debugger on a specific application.
Local fix
Don't use secondary entry points.
