6.1 About the debugger

A debugger is a tool that supports debugging of programs. JP1/Advanced Shell provides a debugger for job definition script files. A GUI is provided for running the debugger in a Windows development environment, and a CUI is provided for running the debugger in a UNIX execution environment. You can debug your job definition script files interactively by using the buttons, menus, and shortcut keys provided by JP1/Advanced Shell Editor with the GUI and by obtaining replies from the debugger by using the debugger's commands with the CUI.

The debugger enables the following:

• Starting the debugger
