<strong>Migrating</strong> <strong>to</strong> z/OS <strong>R8</strong> <strong>Part</strong> 1 of 3: Get Ready<br />
� <strong>The</strong> SET LONGCUNAME command has been updated <strong>to</strong> support the AT ENTRY breakpoint.<br />
� New suboptions have been added <strong>to</strong> the FIND command <strong>to</strong> enable you <strong>to</strong> navigate through searches more<br />
effectively. Changes have also been made <strong>to</strong> make the FIND command more like ISPF's FIND command.<br />
� Debug Tool can now debug C and C++ programs compiled with the new DEBUG compile option. <strong>The</strong> DEBUG<br />
compile option was available with C/C++ for z/OS V1.5.<br />
� <strong>The</strong> NAMES command has been added <strong>to</strong> allow you <strong>to</strong> have some control over the load modules and compile units<br />
that Debug Tool displays and debugs. <strong>The</strong> NAMES EXCLUDE function allows you <strong>to</strong> inform Debug Tool that certain<br />
load modules and/or compile units are not <strong>to</strong> be debugged (for example, data modules). <strong>The</strong> NAMES INCLUDE<br />
function allows you <strong>to</strong> inform Debug Tool that certain load modules and/or compile units that would normally be<br />
considered non-debuggable are <strong>to</strong> be debugged as user programs.<br />
� <strong>The</strong> AT CHANGE command has been enhanced <strong>to</strong> support level 88 data items.<br />
� Support has been added <strong>to</strong> debug PL/I applications where the programs in the application are compiled with a<br />
mixture of new and old IBM PL/I compilers such as IBM Enterprise PL/I for z/OS V3, IBM VisualAge PL/I for z/OS V2,<br />
IBM PL/I for MVS and VM V1, and IBM OS PL/I V2.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been previous levels of the Debug Tool (IBM Debug Tool for z/OS Version 5 Release 1 (5655-M18), IBM<br />
Debug Tool for z/OS and OS/390 Version 4 Release 1 (5655-L24), Version 1 Release 3 (5688-I94) and IBM Debug Tool<br />
for z/OS and OS/390 Version 3 Release 1 (5655-H32). <strong>The</strong>se levels are all higher than the level that was shipped in<br />
z/OS V1.4. z/OS R4 contained the CODE/370 V1R2 level of the debugger. As of z/OS V1R5, optional feature C/C++ with<br />
Debug Tool is no longer in z/OS. <strong>The</strong> functional replacement that you will need <strong>to</strong> order for that feature is the C/C++<br />
without Debug Tool feature in z/OS and also the independent standalone program product - IBM Debug Tool for z/OS<br />
V6.1 (5655-P14).<br />
IBM Ported Tools for z/OS Version 1 Release 1 (5655-M23)<br />
IBM Ported Tools for z/OS is designed <strong>to</strong> provide the select features of secure shell known as OpenSSH enabling for:<br />
� Authentication for both the client and server<br />
� Privacy through encryption<br />
� Data integrity<br />
� Authorization<br />
� Forwarding or tunneling<br />
� An optional feature of compression<br />
� Communication using SSH1 and SSH2 pro<strong>to</strong>cols.<br />
Ordering information: It is an unpriced program product, that can be ordered with z/OS. It can run on z/OS R4 and<br />
higher. It has been generally available since May 28, 2004. <strong>The</strong> program numbers are IBM Ported Tools for z/OS<br />
(5655-M23) and IBM Ported Tools for z/OS Software and Subscription (5655-M29).<br />
IBM Ported Tools for z/OS: Perl for z/OS Feature (5655-M23)<br />
IBM Ported Tools for z/OS: Perl for z/OS Feature provides a port of the Perl (version 5.8.7) scripting language <strong>to</strong> the z/OS<br />
UNIX platform. Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) is a very popular general-purpose programming language<br />
that is widely used on UNIX and other computing platforms.<br />
Support for z/OS UNIX has been available for several years in the open-source version of Perl. Building this version of<br />
Perl is often difficult even for experienced users, and requires access <strong>to</strong> several GNU utilities.<br />
Perl for z/OS is preconfigured and precompiled, and is designed <strong>to</strong> eliminate the need for those complicated tasks.<br />
EBCDIC-related fac<strong>to</strong>rs in the Perl application have been addressed; therefore, it is anticipated that Perl applications can<br />
run with data generated entirely in the z/OS UNIX environment. As with any z/OS related programming language, Perl<br />
programs that process data originating from non-EBCDIC (typically ASCII) systems must still convert this data from ASCII<br />
<strong>to</strong> EBCDIC, and vice versa. Tips for conversion can be found in IBM Ported Tools for z/OS: Perl for z/OS User's Guide<br />
(SA23-1347) at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/ or<br />
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/port_<strong>to</strong>ols.html .<br />
Ordering information: Perl for z/OS is an unpriced feature of the IBM Ported Tools for z/OS, an unpriced licensed<br />
program. It has been generally available since June 16, 2006. <strong>The</strong> program numbers are IBM Ported Tools for z/OS<br />
(5655-M23) and IBM Ported Tools for z/OS Software and Subscription (5655-M29).<br />
