Chapter 8 SYMBOLIC DEBUG Symbolic Debug is one of the programming tools that make up the TOOLSET/XL utility. It allows you to interactively monitor your program's execution and debug your program without having to know memory locations or convert source statements into octal code offsets. Instead, breakpoints can be set and execution flow traced by referencing the section and paragraph names from the Procedure Division of COBOL programs, the procedure name from Pascal programs or the compiler generated line numbers from programs written in either language. Data items can be monitored, displayed, and changed by using their names. The Symbolic Debug feature works in conjunction with other TOOLSET/XL features. TOOLSET/XL commands can be entered during the debugging phase of program development.
