The zTPFGI advanced debugging environment is an end-to-end testing solution that makes it easy to load programs and trace them at either the macro/instruction or source code levels.

Here are some of its main features:

• Runs on z/TPF — not simulated
• Client/Server architecture
• Graphical user interface
• RACF authentication
• Source-level debugging for Assembler, C/C++ in 31 bit or 64 bit
• View/edit core and file blocks with 8- or 4-byte addresses
• Edit TPF blocks/records using panels (dsects)
• Full undo/redo of block editing
• Changes in blocks and registers shown in different colors
• Standard trace options including Macros, Programs, Instruction Stepping, etc.
• Instruction/Macro Trace run option
• Switch to any active ECB
• Automatic, intuitive access to ECBs
• Integrated ALC terminal emulation
• Integrated 3270 terminal emulation
• Command terminal for entering TPF commands
• Record, playback, and log terminal commands (i.e. Message Run, Message Capture, Message Log)
• Control of execution in Source View includes Step, Run, Run to cursor, Branch to Cursor
• Set breakpoints, run to breakpoints in Source View
• Trace multiple programs at once in Source View
• Fully integrated with IDE features (file browsing, editing, compiling, etc.)
• Selective activation and deactivation of Loadsets and SOs
