Xpediter – Batch Setup

Option to enter XPEDITER is different in each company. Find that out and enter into the XPEDITER. To Debug the Batch program interactively use option 3 as below.

0 DEFAULTS – Specify defaults

1 PREPARE – Prepare programs for debugging

2 TSO – Debug programs interactively under TSO

3 BATCH – Debug programs interactively under batch

5 UTILITIES – Perform utility functions

F FADB2 – Invoke File-AID for DB2

FA FILE-AID – Invoke File-AID for MVS

FI FILE-AID/IMS – Invoke File-AID for IMS

C CODE COVERAGE – Code Coverage NOT INSTALLED

• To run a program through Xpediter first we need to compile the program with Xpediter option. If it is the COBOL – DB2 program we need to promote that program to do the binding before run in the Xpediter.
• Before running the program just check whether any datasets, which are using by this program are opened in the edit mode. If it so, come out of those datasets from the edit mode. Because in that case Program won’t run in the Xpediter as it is waiting for the dataset.
• By opening the program required dataset in the edit mode and submit the JCL in the Xpediter, then Xpediter just wait for those datasets. In that case we have to press ‘ESC’ two times to make that Xpediter stop. After that, we need to come out of those edit mode open datasets and we need to cancel the job, which is running for the Previous cancelled Xpediter job in the spool.

Commands:

• F9: Press F9 to trace the program line by line. That is by pressing F9 it executes the present line and transfer the control to the next line.
  
• B (Break point): To put the break point in the program give ‘B’ in line number where we need the Break point and press enter.
  
• F12: Press F12 to transfer the control to the next Breakpoint. That is it will executes all the lines from the current position to the next Break point position and wait at that Break point. Then we can trace line by line by pressing F9 from this break point.
  
• K variable- name: If we want to know the present value of a particular variable give “K variable-name” in the command line as shown below and press enter.
  
• D (Delete a break point or K variables): If we want to delete either break point or K variables in the program just put ‘D’ in the line number against that break point or K variable.
  
• Goto line-number: To move the program control to a particular line number give “Goto line-number”. Then program control goes to that line from the current position without executing all the lines in between. In this way we can skip some part of the program execution.
  
• Exit: To stop the program execution at any point gives “Exit” in the command line and press enter. Then Xpediter stop executing the program and comes out of the Xpediter.
  

Note:- If we are coming out of the Xpediter by giving EXIT, then all the changes have done so far will be saved in the files and/or tables.
