Forcefully
If the HP COBOL program is a Pathway server process, you can use the TACL
DEBUG command only from a terminal that is connected to a command interpreter, not
from a terminal that is configured to run a SCREEN COBOL terminal program. The
reason is that you must be able to tell the debugger which process to debug. For
considerations regarding errors that can occur when you are debugging a Pathway
server, see the TS/MP Pathsend and Server Programming Manual.
Note. If you press Break too soon after you start a process, you get the messages:
WARNING - STARTUP MESSAGE NOT READ
ABENDED: nn,nnn
followed by a TACL prompt. The process that you started was not able to complete its
initialization and was terminated.
