You need a debug configuration before you can debug a program. This configuration defines items such as the search order for called programs, run-time arguments, run-time tunables, COBOL switches and so on. You can set the configuration in more than one way:
- Project > Properties > Micro Focus COBOL > Debug. These settings apply to the project and are overridden by any settings in the general debug configuration (described below). Available settings include:
- Display options
- Debug view options
- Remote launching options including launch location.
- Run > Debug Configurations. Like build configurations, you can have multiple debug configurations and swap between them. These settings override the project run-time settings.
Different types of COBOL debug configurations are available for different types of debug sessions. Each type of configuration offers different options and requires different specifications.
