Using the offline tester, a UAP can be executed under debugger control from the main function. This facility is called debugger connection.

The user sets debugger connection in the offline tester environment definition. This makes it easy to debug each step of the program or to debug in batch format.

Two types of debuggers can be used:

• dbx
• cbltd (COBOL85/TD)

Figure 10-8 outlines debugger connection.
