Debugging Programs that use VPLUS 

When debugging programs that use VPLUS, you need to use two terminals.
To use a second terminal, specify a terminal file name in the TERMFILE
parameter of the call to VOPENTERM. Before running your program, use a
file equation referencing the terminal file name you specified.

For example, if you specify TERM2 in VOPENTERM, you would enter the
following file equation before running your program.

     :FILE TERM2,NEW; DEV=ldev; ACC=INOUT
     :RUN

where ldev is the logical device number of the terminal.


NOTE  If you are running a program with Symbolic Debug that has a COBOL
      outer block with Pascal or FORTRAN procedures, you cannot DISPLAY,
      MOVE, or DATATRACE any Pascal procedure, parameter, or variable
      that references a Pascal global type.  Further, if you do a Pascal
      subprogram compile that references a global type that has been
      declared in the sub program's outer block but not previously
      declared in the main outer block compile, you will not be able to
      DISPLAY, MOVE, or DATATRACE any Pascal procedure, parameter, or
      variable that references the "global but sub program declared only
      "Pascal type" .
