Re: TSO TEST clarifications

2019-03-03 Thread Joseph Reichman
Thanks at work we were looking to trace some  huge Assembler programs initially 
debug tool was used and it ran it into lots of problems I have been using test 
test because it’s not a source level debugger has less issues and runs smoother 
the programs are really old and I doubt there are many BRAS or those newer 
instructions that TEST just does once and removes the breakpoint 

I know with debug tool you cannot trace self modifying instructions but I 
wonder if debug tool traces these newer instructions more than just once 


Thanks

A poor (non-existant?) implementation of support for relative and other new
instructions.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

TSO TEST clarifications

2019-03-01 Thread Joseph Reichman
I am looking for some clarifications on the following documentation from the
TSO TEST AT subcommand

 

. any instructions that save the current PSW address except BAL, BALR, BAS,
BASR, BSM, or BASSM.

A single pass breakpoint is removed automatically during execution of the GO
subcommand. After

resuming execution at the breakpoint, the breakpoint is no longer in effect
until you establish it again by

using the AT subcommand. If you want to establish the breakpoint, you must
use the AT subcommand

after you issue the GO subcommand, not before.

 

 

"Any instruction that updates the current PSW are executed only once" is
there an exact list of these instructions anywhere

 

Thanks
