Problem:

How to debug a COBOL program and Dialog System screenset in the same session

Resolution:

Release: 3.1   -  You can certainly use both the Net Express and Dialog System animators in the same session. To start, you can change in your COBOL code the call to Dialog System using DS instead of DSGRUN. This will always invoke the Dialog System Animator everytime you step to this call from the Net Express Animator. In other words, you can start to step through your COBOL code, and the Dialog System Animator will be invoked when you step the call to Dialog System. That is, I am referring to the following call in your COBOL program:

CALL dialog-system USING Ds-Control-Block, Data-Block

where dialog-system has the value of DS.
