296 Using IBM Application Development Tools for z/OS and OS/390
12.1 Batch mode user interface
It is possible to use Debug Tool in batch mode. This is most useful in situations where there is
a large amount of code and you want to get a general feel for how the program logic flows.
You can use a commands file to predefine a series of Debug Tool commands and run your
program in normal batch mode. You only need the additional TEST runtime option in the
PARM definition. The COBOL JCL is shown in Example 12-1.
