Automatic Breakpoints

If the global automatic breakpoint facility is on and a program is executing without a terminal, the task abends. To prevent this, route automatic breakpoint displays to 3270-type terminals. Use the global or local automatic breakpoint terminal options to identify the terminal to receive automatic breakpoint displays.

To identify a terminal to receive breakpoint displays for a specific program or transaction, select Special Options on the Monitoring Submenu for the Program (2.1) or Transaction (2.2). Specify a terminal ID for the local automatic breakpoint option on the Special Options menu. For details, see the chapter Monitoring Menu Options.

To identify a terminal to receive breakpoint displays for all non-terminal attached tasks and for tasks executing from non-3270 terminals, select System-Wide Options from the Monitoring Menu (Primary Menu Option 2.6, Breakpoint Menu Option 1.2.6). On the System-Wide menu, specify a terminal ID for the global automatic breakpoint option.
