Problem:

MFA provides exit points for both drag & drop and syncmon. This enables users to automatically manipulate the downloaded members. It is possible to animate these exits using MFE.

MFDASIMP executes after a successful drag and drop

MFMONIMP executes after a member is imported via Syncmon

Resolution:

To debug MFDASIMP, compile the program to .int or .gnt using the non-mainframe dialect

Exit MFE

Start an MFE command prompt

Cd to the loadlib containing mfdasimp.(int or gnt)

Start MFE from the command line by entering MFE <enter>

Open your project containing the mfdasimp source

Select Debug > Start Debugging from the main menu

Select the 'Non-mainframe' tab on the 'Start Debugging' dialog

enter MFDASMX as the name of the program to debug

The drag and drop interface will start

Drag a member to the workstation

Once the member has successfully been downloaded, the debugger will start for mfdasimp

Step through the program as with any COBOL program

To debug MFMONIMP, follow the above procedure, using MFMONMX as the name of the program to debug instead of MFDASMX.
