Globalization Restriction for Debugging

If either of the following conditions exist:

  • The coded character set identifier (CCSID) of the debug job is 290, 930, or 5026 (Japan Katakana)
  • The code page of the device description used for debugging is 290, 930, or 5026 (Japan Katakana)

debug commands, functions, and hexadecimal literals should be entered in uppercase. For example:

BREAK 16 WHEN var=X'A1B2'
EVAL var:X

The above restriction for Japan Katakana code pages does not apply when using identifier names in debug commands (for example, EVAL). However, when debugging ILE RPG, ILE COBOL, or ILE CL modules, identifier names in debug commands are converted to uppercase by the source debugger and therefore may be redisplayed differently.
