Running the Debugger under CMS

KANJI Terminal Support under CMS

The SAS/C Debugger supports KANJI terminals or terminals that support only uppercase English alphabet characters. When you are using the debugger with a KANJI terminal, your program most likely was compiled with the japan option. The japan option is described in Compiler Options.

At debug time you must also set the _UPPER environment variable to YES or Y before debugging a module on a KANJI terminal. Under CMS this is accomplished with one of the following GLOBALV commands:

GLOBALV SELECT CENV SET _UPPER YES

GLOBALV SELECT CENV SETP _UPPER YES

The first GLOBALV command sets the environment variable value for the remainder of the current session, and the second one sets it permanently so that it is in effect for the remainder of the current session and all future sessions.

Both commands set the environment variable _UPPER in group CENV to a value of YES. In the first GLOBALV command, _UPPER is a STORAGE class variable, and in the second command it is a LASTING class variable. See the SAS/C Library Reference, Volume 1 for more information about the putenv function as well as STORAGE and LASTING class variables.
