falls into the category of AFH and is not relevant to modern equipment.

Modern equipment is just so unsexy. With the old reel tapes, at least you
could see the tape spinning, and the tape bouncing up and down in the vacuum
columns. Cartridges you can't see anything.

perhaps because the linkage editor doesn't want to bother finding if there
are aliases for the real module that might need to be cleaned up? So it's

I have not used XDC or CA-Xpediter, but I would imagine you could write a
debugger in mostly Rexx with some assembler. Take a look at the TSO/E
Programming Services manual for a discussion of how to write a native TSO
full screen program.
You will also have to give some thought to the debugging

Why not?
Why have Xpeditor when you have READY TRACE in COBOL?
I'm just curious if it can be done and if so how.
An interactive environment is much easier
Ah! Binyamin and I answered different questions, I think. By full-screen
Rexx debugger, do you (the OP) mean:
- a full-screen debugger for Rexx programs? Or
- a full-screen debugger for programs in general, written in Rexx?
I answered the latter question; I think Binyamin is answering the

But just to be clear, I'm not that good, and also if I could do it in my spare
time it would go to sourceforge or some other type of free software place like
CBT. I am NOT looking for a commercial product. Not at all. Just something to

Oh! (-:
I meant, instead of using TRACE ?I in a Rexx program (like COBOL READY TRACE)
you could in an ISPF-like full screen program trace a Rexx program. Put in
breakpoints, display variable values, change them, and on and on. Like those
programs do.
You know, I was just curious if it
Ah!
Would it be possible to replace TRACE with your own service routine, that
would do TSO full-screen presentation of the data, rather than Rexx's line
I/O. Interesting question. That would be a useful product.
You can write code that Rexx will call for all I/O including Say. See

Don't forget you can display the value of any Rexx variable from a debugging
session by typing Say Foo (or Say C2X(Foo) etc.).
I could see mapping function keys such that you could put the cursor on any
variable name in the display and hitting the PF key would insert Say Foo or
Say C2X(Foo), etc.
[Lindy Mayfield ] Seriously, I'm surprised you ask this.
[Binyamin Dissen] Why have z/XDC or Xpeditor or AbendAid when you have dumps?
Man! Don't get me started, Ben!
