Debugging Files Outside TOOLSET/XL 

The TOOLSET/XL Symbolic Debug utility can be used for programs you have
created and modified with an editor other than the TOOLSET/XL editor.  To
run Symbolic Debug on these programs, use the following steps.

(1)     Use a $CONTROL SYMDEBUG statement in your COBOL source file or
        $SYMDEBUG TOOLSET $ in your Pascal or FORTRAN source file.

(2)     Compile your source file outside of TOOLSET/XL. Use the MPE XL
        compile command.

(3)     Prepare your object file outside of TOOLSET/XL using the MPE XL
        LINK command.

(4)     Enter TOOLSET/XL and issue a Workspace command, giving the name
        of a "dummy" Workspace.

(5)     Issue a USE command on the program file name used when you
        prepared the object file.

(6)     Run your program using the program file name:

        :RUN PROGNAME

No list file is generated when source files are executed in this way, so
you will not be able to perform debug operations by referencing line
numbers or by Marking.  You can perform debug operations through symbolic
referencing with Debug commands.
