Debug Aids

The Toolkit provides utilities to streamline debugging. These utilities are a set of commands that allow you to change the data on a database file directly, set up debug sessions from directives stored in program source, and take synchronized snapshots of the contents of a list of files. These commands include:

• Work with Database File Data (YWRKF)
• Start Debug and Add Auto Breakpoints (YSTRDBG)
• Copy Files (YCPYF)
• Set Break Program (YSETBRKPGM)
• Display a Program Message Queue (YDSPPGMQ)

The CA 2E documentation utilities are also useful in debugging. You can use them to identify implementation objects impacted by changes you make as a result of debugging.

Note: If you use the i OS debug facilities, ensure that you end debug before entering the model.

For more information:

• On how to use the debug commands, refer to the chapter titled "Debug Aids" in the CA 2E Toolkit Concepts Guide.
• On parameters for the debug commands, refer to the CA 2E Toolkit Reference Guide.
• On using CA 2E documentation utilities, refer to the Documenting Your Generated Application section of the "Implementing Your Application" chapter of this guide.
