Usage Considerations for Accelerated Programs

Modifying FILLER Elements of a Record
Using the WHOLE clause enables you to assign values to all elements of a record,
including those designated FILLER.

Interactive MODIFY in a Command List
If you include an interactive MODIFY command (one where Inspect needs to
prompt you for values) in a command list, it must be the last command in the
command list.
Usage Considerations for Accelerated Programs

When debugging an accelerated program on a TNS/R system, values may be
cached in machine registers when the current location is not a register-exact point.
In such an event, the modify operation may have no effect.

TNS/R registers can only be modified when debugging an accelerated or native
program on a TNS/R system. An error is reported if you attempt to modify
registers on a non-accelerated program.

When debugging accelerated programs, TNS registers can only be modified at
register-exact points. For more information, see Section 15, Using Inspect on a
TNS/R System.

When debugging accelerated programs, the P register can only be set to a value
that is the address of a register-exact point. For more information, see RESUME
on page 6-158.

Examples
1. This example demonstrates how various MODIFY commands affect this COBOL
data structure:
01 B.
05 C PICTURE X(10) VALUE IS "Jelvo, B. ".
05 D PICTURE S99 USAGE IS COMP VALUE IS 45.
05 E PICTURE 9(10) VALUE IS 4085551212.
05 F PICTURE X(24) VALUE IS "Alvin's Place".
