The Detailed Conditional Breakpoint Screen

When Assembler and PL/I users want to specify conditional breakpoints complete the Conditional Locations screen and press PF9, the screen opens. COBOL users access this screen by pressing PF9 from the COBOL Conditional Breakpoint screen.

Specify the following values:

• The left side of the comparison must be an area of core. Enter information in one of these four fields:
  • Data name
  • Register
  • COBOL BLL cell
  • Area identified by a CORE keyword
• The relational operator:
  • EQ for equal
  • NE for not equal
  • GT for greater than
  • LT for less than
  • GE for greater than or equal to
  • LE for less than or equal to
• (Optional) The length of the left side or right side of the comparison. For details, see Length of the Comparison, which follows this section.
• The right side of the comparison, which is an area of core or a literal. Enter information in one of these five fields: a data name, a register, a COBOL BLL cell, an area identified by a CORE keyword, or a literal. For details, see CORE Keywords and Literal Formats later in this chapter.
• (Optional) Adjusts a CORE location by specifying offsets (displacements). Each offset must be preceded by one of the following operands:
  • +
  • ‑
  • @ (indirect addressing below the 16‑megabyte line) % (indirect addressing above the 16‑megabyte line; XA systems only)
  • Literals cannot be modified by offsets.
