Introduction:

TRACEMASTER is a tool for debugging and testing COBOL and assembler sources in
mainframe. This document explains the step by step procedure for debugging the
CICS program in CICS and the cobol program in foreground mode.

How to Debug a COBOL/CICS program using Tracemaster

Debugging a COBOL/CICS program in CICS

1. Compile and link the program for trace master
2. Load the programs and symbol files through CICS Trace master menu
3. Set the breakpoints
4. Run the transaction and Debug
5. Log off

Debugging a COBOL batch program (in Foreground)

1. Compile and link the program for trace master
2. Set Default libraries
3. Set symbol library and Convert the JCL
4. Run in debug mode

Debugging a COBOL/CICS program in CICS

STEP 1
Compile and link the program for trace master – First of all we need to do some
preparation for testing the program in Tracemaster.We need to create a symbol file
for Tracemaster. Hence, for running a program using Tracemaster, the program needs

to be compiled in a modified manner. The JCL ,Procedure or macros for compilation

needs to undergo following changes:
o Change the program for compilation
IGYCRCTL à XT00VSC2 (Cobol II)
IKFCBL00 à XT000SCB (OS/VS Cobol)
o Add symbol library
prefix.symbol.library(program name)
o Add trace master load library
prefix.XTRESLIB – It should be trace master load library name
specified during installation.

Example: The existing macro for compiling a cobol program has following step:

//COB EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,

//STEPLIB DD DSN=SYS1.SIGYCOMP,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SYSP.LL.CICSTS22.CICS.SDFHLOAD,DISP=SHR

The above step is changed as follows for compiling a program to be tested in

Tracemaster.

//COB EXEC PGM=XT00VSC2

//STEPLIB DD DSN=SYST.PD.TRACEMST.V4100M.XTRESLIB,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SYS1.SIGYCOMP,DISP=SHR
//SYMOUT DD DSN=TST1.FOODLION.SYMBOL.LIBRARY("MEM"),
// DISP=SHR

STEP 2
Load the programs and symbol files through CICS Trace master menu – After
compiling and linking the program, following steps needs to be followed to load the
program :
o
do a new copy of the program in CICS screen.
o Type the transaction ID for Tracemaster on CICS Screen.Default is XXT0.

o
When you are entering the Tracemaster menu for the first time, go to
‘PROFILE’ option and set the symbol library(prefix.symbol.library ->same

as in compilation procedure).Also set the Display format as

‘C’(character).Save and exit to Tracemaster main menu.

o
Now go to ‘SETUP’ option and enter “COBOL” command

o Load the program by entering LOAD command followed by program name

to be tested. E.g. LOAD INVO701.After successful load following msg
would appear .
