SET INSPECT Command
SET INSPECT Command
Use the SET INSPECT command to establish default debugging conditions for
processes started by the current TACL.
OFF
disables the Inspect symbolic debugger and selects the Debug program as the
default debugger. (The Debug program is the system default debugging utility.)
The Debug program then prompts for input when any process created by the
current TACL (or any of its descendants) enters the debug state.
ON
selects the Inspect symbolic debugger as the default debugger for all programs
started by the current TACL. The Inspect debugger then prompts for input when
any process created by the current TACL (or by any descendant of the current
TACL) enters the debug state.
SAVEABEND
establishes the Inspect symbolic debugger as the default debugger and
automatically creates a save file if the program ends abnormally.
Considerations
•
The Inspect product is a symbolic debugger. It allows you to control running
processes and SCREEN COBOL programs and to examine memory and modify
data values-all with commands that use your source language.
In addition to the source-language commands, the Inspect debugger supports
machine-level commands for maximum debugging flexibility. (For more
information, see the Inspect Manual. See also DEBUG Command
on page 8-48,
RUN[D|V] Command on page 8-156, and SHOW Command on page 8-201.)
•
Your selection of the Inspect debugger as the default debugger is effective until
you enter another SET INSPECT command or until you log off. After you log off,
the Debug program once again becomes the default debugger. However, if you
enter a SET INSPECT command and log on again without logging off, Inspect
remains the default debugger.
