Hello everybody,

I have an online IMS-DC program which is causing an untraceable abend.

So, to help me to find out what is going on I need to display some variables information, just like we do in CICS programs (writing TS).

Is there any way I can do that?

Thanks in advance...

Do you have abend aid? Do you have BTS?

No, I don't have any of these...

That's why I'm asking

Well, then depending on what version of cobol you have, you can "display" the same as you do for CICS. Be careful and check with your tech support people because you do not want to slow down your test region.

I didn't understand... In CICS I usually write a TS (temporary storage) as I can't execute a DISPLAY command.. at least as far as I know

So if I do a DISPLAY within a IMS-DC online program, where am I suppose to see the displayed lines??


Thanks!

If you cannot execute a CICS "display", then you probably cannot use the "display" in IMS. Check with your tech services people. You should have a dump with an error code. We can start there.
