How do I set a breakpoint for a cobol program while using debugger?
I have tried At Change command but it gives error 'The environment is not fully initialized.Setting breakpoint failed'.

What actually is that debugger? Is that an utility for debugging cobol programs?

I think it's in the context of Xpeditor.

If that is the case you can use B for break points while debugging a cobol program.

Word 'Debuger Tool' is rather general in the context of 'Debugging'. We (perhaps only me..) are not getting which tool you are talking about when you say

This line from you post

tells that might be you are intrested in Xpeditor stuff...but I'm not sure, just a guess, so no suggestions pouring in. I repeat, You need to tell us which tool you are using?

However, a lil googling give me the following link which contains the string Debugger Tool..might be.. it satisfies you.

Hi Anuj,

I was talking about the IBM Debug tool which helps in debugging a cobol program.Maybe its function is similar to Expeditor but I dont know much about Expeditor.

I did more research on it & found how to set breakpoints in the cobol code.I needed to use the compiler option TEST(ALL) for the code.

Thanks,

Good yo u got the solution, usually these types of errors need efforts from the individual facing them. Thanks for posting the solution. icon_smile.gif
