Edit the PLIDEBUG.DAT file

When you submit the JCL, the PLIDEBUG.DAT file is created. In order to debug the application, you need to edit this file so that it contains settings defining whether the enterprise server should generate an "interrupt" when the program is loaded and about to be executed.

1. Double-click plidebug.dat in the Team Developer Tree view. (You might need to refresh the project if it isn't showing.) This opens the file in the Micro Focus Data File Tools application.
   Tip: If plidebug.dat still does not show in the Team Developer Tree view after refreshing the project, you can navigate to and double-click the file in Windows Explorer to open it in the Micro Focus Data File Tools application.
2. Click Edit > Data File Editor > Insert Indexed Record.
3. Enter a value of OPDEMO as the unique key and click OK.
4. Put your cursor on column 21 of the record you just inserted and type in the text below:

   Y 1 shlib opdemo.dll;env opdemo;br %entry;br %exit [det;q];c

   The commands in this record set the debugging environment and opening and closing details.

   Note:

   • You cannot paste text into the Data File Editor. If you do, an Update Warning message appears. Click Yes to continue.
   • To stop invoking CodeWatch when you submit the JCL, replace the Y on column 21 with an N.
5. Close the Editor.
