I am still looking for a debugger for assembler programs. I am quite pleased with TSO TEST, but we now need a debugger on CMS. I have worked with CP TRACE for a while and I think PER type traps are just great. I've been able to get to the bottom of some bugs that I would otherwise not been able to fix (as easily?). However, when you're using CP TRACE, you get dropped to CP level (of course) and you get a very rudimentary DISPLAY command (only HEX). Currently we use Arty's SESSION to switch between one CMS with the assembly listing and the LOAD MAP, and another with the program under test. On the latter you DI your variable and look at what it is in HEX. On your pocket calculator you convert that to decimal, or you subtract that pointer value from the start of the CSECT that you can find in LOAD MAP....... I would like the facilities of INSPECT (of Codeview on the PC :-) available for debugging assembler code. Has anyone done this, or made his own tools to get a better grip on his code? Environment VM/SP 6 or VM/XA SP 2. Are there any affordable products available in the commercial arena? And for MVS TSO ???
