Differences between debugging tools

IBM Debug Tool is the interactive debugger that supports PL/I and Language Environment. Debug Tool functions are equivalent to PLITEST functions. Some names of PLITEST commands, however, have changed in Debug Tool and are no longer accepted. These are listed in Table 17.

You must have Language Environment for OS/390 & VM Release 4 or later installed on your system before you can use Debug Tool with your OS PL/I applications.
