| Hi,
I am into the debugging of a cobol program and would like to know if
there is a statement that I can code in the COBOL program so that
during the flow of the logic of the program, it will give a display of
the paragrah it is entering. The program I am debugging contains close
to 300 paragraphs. So it is not feasible to give a display in all of
them seperatly.
Can some on please help me out, if there exists such a commad. I gave a
google search but it didnt come out with anything relevant. I dont know
if I am giving the right search keys.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
~Praveen.

| Hi,
please look for TRACE-Option in your compiler directives.

| What compiler are you using? What interactive debugger are you using?
You may also want to look at the USE FOR DEBUGGING procedures and the DEBUG-ITEM
special register (if available)

| hi...
Yup I found the cobol statement. It is READY TRACE . But it is not
supported in the cobol that I am using... it is IBM Enterprise COBOL
for z/OS 3.4.0.
error came as...
IGYPS2021-W "READY TRACE", "RESET TRACE" and "SERVICE RELOAD" are not
supported. A
"CONTINUE" statement was assumed.
SO is there any way I can use the same command or anything similar to
the TRACE command!
Thanks a lot for your time!
Regards,
Praveen.

===============
I quickly perused the on-line site at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...ate_nobrand.htm
short link -> http://tinyurl.com/j7xnf
You check out the logic flow example here: http://tinyurl.com/zuep9
Sorry I can't be of more help.

There used to be one in mainframe IBM CoBOL, but not anymore. Lots
of compilers have debugging tools, but you haven't told us your
compiler and OS, nor what tools are available to you.
I often simply have a statement at the start of each paragraph that
displays the paragraph. I use debugging mode:
SOURCE-COMPUTER.
IBM-390 WITH DEBUGGING MODE.
** IBM-390.
Then I have:
1000-READ-LOOP.
move '1000-read-loop' to paragraph-name.
D display paragraph-name.

| Check the IBM documentation or that compiler. Look in the "Migration Guide" and
search for "READY TRACE" and see what it says.
