COBOL Programs

This section discusses the preparation that is necessary before beginning to debug a COBOL program and provides a sample COBOL debugging session.

Note: The discussion and sample debugger session that follow are for a program compiled under the VS-COBOL compiler. The basic principals are the same for other compiler levels. Some specific differences are noted. For more information on register conventions and program structure, refer to the appropriate IBM documentation.
