Problem:

What is the procedure to debug Non-Cobol shared object

Resolution:

When developing a mixed-language application and need to debug a non-COBOL shared object that dynamically loads another non-COBOL shared object, you might find that the system debugger will not allow the setting of any breakpoints in the callable shared object until it has been loaded.

To debug the program in this circumstance,  set a breakpoint on a function called mF_cso_loaded(); this enables viewing when the run-time system loads and unloads shared objects from memory. When the callable shared object has been loaded,  breakpoints can now be set.

The function mF_cso_loaded() is called whenever a callable shared object is loaded or unloaded. It has two arguments; the first is the name of the callable shared object being loaded or unloaded, while the second is set to zero for a load, non-zero for an unload.
