Debugging

You can choose from two approaches to determine the cause of problems in program behavior of your application: source-language debugging or interactive debugging.

For source-language debugging, COBOL provides several language elements, compiler options, and listing outputs that make debugging easier.

If the problem with your program is not easily detected and you do not have a debugger available, you might need to analyze a storage dump of your program.

For interactive debugging, you can use Debug Tool. Debug Tool offers these productivity enhancements:
