The best way is to run under z/VM. Set all processors off line except for one, and you can step through the code. I'm never used z/XDC to debug an SVC. It would be interesting to hear what Dave Cole has to say. Tom - Original Message - From: McKown, John [mailto:john.mck...@healthmarket

You really need a special class of debugger for SVC and other "system level" functions, such a PC code and SRB code. Many seem to love z/XDC from ColeSoft. I have no experience with it. I am doing some testing of another product, but I don't think it's available yet. So I won't mention the name.
