Setting the display device

When you have created a debugging profile for a compiled language (Language Environment®) program, but before you can start debugging the application programs defined in the profile, you must specify the display device with which you will interact with the debugger. You can use:

The display device becomes associated with a debugging profile when you activate the profile, and remains associated with the profile until you make the profile inactive.

You can choose when you specify the display device:

Specifying the display device before you make a profile active

Starting with the "List all profiles" page, follow these steps:

  1. Click on Set compiled display device. CICS® displays the "Set compiled display device" page.
  2. Complete the details of the display device that you want to associate with the profile.
  3. Select "In the future, do not show this page when activating profiles".
  4. Click the Save and return button. CICS saves the display device settings, and displays the "List all profiles" page.

The "Set compiled display device" page will not be displayed when you activate profiles; the settings you have supplied will be applied to all profiles for compiled language (Language Environment) programs when you activate them.
