Known Issues and Limitations of Remote Debug using the source view with COBOL

Question & Answer


Question

What are the known issues and limitations of the source view with COBOL during remote debug?

Answer

The following table lists the issues, limitations, and available work-arounds:

Area

Type Description Work-Around
Breakpoints Issue Entering a command to set a breakpoint from the Debug Console view does not work. Set the breakpoint directly in the debug editor or from the Breakpoint view.
Issue The debugger does not stop when a breakpoint is set in a copybook that is copied more than one time in a program. None.
Concurrent Debug and Code Coverage Limitation The user cannot switch views when concurrent debug and code coverage is enabled. None.
Limitation Concurrent debug and code coverage for programs compiled with OPT(1) produces incorrect results in listing and in source view. None.
Issue Concurrent debug and code coverage for programs that contain the same copybook multiple times does not produce correct results. None.
Visual Debug Limitation Visual Debug does not display nodes for copybooks with source. None.
For more information on limitations of the source view, see the Notes section in Working with different Debug views.
