COBOL85 Test and Debug System (TADS)

COBOL85 Test and Debug System (TADS) is an interactive tool for testing and debugging COBOL85 programs and COBOL85 libraries. COBOL85 TADS enables you to monitor and control the execution of the software being tested and to examine the data at any given point during program execution. COBOL85 TADS uses commonly understood interactive terms such as procedure names, variable names, source statement sequence numbers, and COBOL85 expression syntax. It does not require familiarity with the details of the enterprise server hardware architecture.

COBOL85 TADS provides many of the features and capabilities of ALGOL TADS, COBOL74 TADS, and FORTRAN77 TADS products. COBOL85 TADS also provides the following features:

• Commands that you can use during the TADS session to perform the following:

• Cause a condition to occur every time the value of a specified changes.
• Allow qualifications of identifiers declared inside nested programs.
• Cause an active condition to be temporarily disabled and an inactive condition to be restored to active status.
• Interrogate, set, or reset the CODE and INCLUDE options.
• Invoke a language statement or function as a separate task that leaves conditions enabled.

• Shared-by-all libraries
• Concurrent code execution
• Multiple task and breakpoint handling
• Display of mix numbers through the OPTION command

Editor Interface

TADS.View, an Editor enhancement, provides an improved and consistent user interface for TADS users. For additional information, refer to the description with the Editor product in this section.

Platform

Style

The ordering style for COBOL85 TADS is CSP 10nn-C8T, where nn represents performance groups 10 through 160 (in increments of 10).
