BMC AMI DevX Workbench Code Debug

Overview

BMC AMI DevX Workbench Code Debug allows Visual Studio Code users to debug mainframe applications using BMC Compuware Xpediter. The solution enables developers to batch debug COBOL, PL/I, C, and Assembler programs. Developers can also specify LOADLIB, DDIO and log data set in debug configurations. The solution also empowers the developers with the ability to perform common debug operations (ie. watch variables, conditional breakpoint).

What’s New

  • Batch debugging for COBOL, PL/I, assembler and C programs
  • Setting breakpoints/conditional breakpoints in source code
  • Stepping over, into, and out of statements and procedures
  • Viewing stack information
  • Viewing the values of variables
  • Setting the value of variable
  • Setting watch variables
  • Ability to define Loadlib, DDIO and log data set option in debug configuration
  • Ability to specify when condition
  • Viewing variable values in hex format

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio Code version 1.67 or above
  • BMC AMI DevX Workbench Explorer extension
  • BMC Compuware Xpediter installed on Mainframe server

Getting Started

  • To start debugging programs in your IDE, you first create a launch.json file within your workspace. More information can be found here
  • Run a Debug Session: After you define your configuration in launch.json, you can run your debug session in the debugging interface.
