Resume and Execution Options › Control and Resume Execution from a Breakpoint › Jump to Another Location

Jump to Another Location

To specify a new location for resuming execution, Specify the GO line‑number|label command or do one of the following:

• Display the statement or instruction where you want to resume execution.
• Enter g to the left of the line number in column 1.
• Press PF5 to continue to the next breakpoint or until program execution ends, or press PF10 to single‑step execution.

Use this option with caution in COBOL and Assembler programs and optimized code. Certain uses trigger difficulties in getting proper addressability.

When an error occurs in a paragraph containing a CICS command, resume program execution at the paragraph‑name rather than at the specific instruction, because some CICS internal processing might have occurred prior to that command.

In PL/I programs, do not resume execution at a new location if it results in a jump between PROCS/BLOCKS.
