Running the Debugger under TSO

KANJI Terminal Support under TSO

The SAS/C Debugger provides support for KANJI terminals or terminals that support only uppercase English alphabet characters. If 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 TSO this is accomplished with the putenv command, which is supplied with the SAS/C Library. Issue either of the following commands in order to set the _UPPER environment variable:

PUTENV _UPPER=YES

PUTENV _UPPER=YES PERM

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

It is possible that your site may not have installed the putenv command in a standard system library. For a full description of the putenv command and information about environment variables under TSO, see theSAS/C Compiler and Library User's Guide and the SAS/C Library Reference, Volume 1.
