Debugging Enhancements

This release provides the following enhancements to debugging:

Program Breakpoints

Note: Program breakpoints are supported in native COBOL only, and are not supported with nested programs.

You can now set program breakpoints, which break into a program whenever it or one of its entry points is called.

To set or toggle a program breakpoint, double-click in the left margin, next to the Procedure Division heading. The icon appears when the program breakpoint is set.

Step out of OSVS perform statements

You can now step out of a perform statement when PERFORM-TYPE(OSVS) or DIALECT(OSVS) is set.
