SAS/C Software: Changes and Enhancements, Release 6.50

Introduction

This chapter provides a complete description of the changes and enhancements made to the SAS/C Debugger for Release 6.00.

Release 6.00 Enhancements

The following enhancements to the SAS/C Debugger have been implemented with Release 6.00:

remote debugging of applications running in a different address space or system, or using a different terminal, including CICS and OpenEdition programs
a CICS front-end transaction for setting up the remote debugging environment for CICS applications
the rsystem command, for use with the remote debugger, for executing a system command in the environment of the program being debugged
search lists for identifying and locating files used by the debugger
a run command file for executing debugger commands at start-up in environments where the debugger does not support REXX.

In addition to these enhancements, there are several minor changes in this release of the SAS/C Debugger, as described in the section Minor Changes and Enhancements .

Incompatibility with Previous Releases

The debugging information produced by Release 6.00 of the SAS/C Compiler has been redesigned. Because of this change, Release 6.00 of the SAS/C Debugger is not compatible with debugging files generated by any releases of the SAS/C Compiler prior to Release 5.50.
