RAID

The RAID* debugger is an advanced tool designed to test and debug COBOL programs in a "windowed" environment on all platforms - even character based environments.  It combines simple command operations and multiple overlapping windows, pull-down menus and mouse support in a powerful yet easy-to-use interactive environment.  RAID creates an efficient, interactive debugging environment that makes developing and maintaining COBOL applications faster and easier.

This advanced COBOL debugger simultaneously monitors breakpoints, variables and source code in separate window,  allowing you to immediately zoom in on problems.  This results in less debugging time and greater productivity.

RAID debugs actual production object code, not special debug versions of programs.  This simplifies overall application development and maintenance because the same source and object code used for debugging are used in production - without the size and/or performance penalty incurred with other systems.

RAID is an integrated part of the Choice! runtime system and uses information created by the Axis compiler.

Features

  • User-oriented multi-windowed design runs on all system.
  • Full source level and low-level debugging support.
  • Advanced breakpoint and watchpoint capabilities.
  • Powerful source program tracing and stepping.
  • Unique dynamic execution history traceback feature - see how a given source line was reached!
  • Memory area viewing.
  • Keystroke recording and playback to create repeatable testing audit procedures, or to archive problem re-creation and resolution.
  • Debug session logging.
  • Low-level code and register access available if needed.
  • Simple command line, function key and mouse support

Benefits

Saves Time and Money.  Runs on all Choice!-supported platforms to squash bugs quickly.  A laptop computer becomes a mainframe application maintenance tool.

Improves productivity.  Reduced frustration and increased convenience result in increased productivity.
