This chapter describes the memory references used for symbolic debugging of COBOL programs. For a general description of addressing methods please refer to the AID Core Manual (Related publications) [1]. The symbolic memory references (section “Symbolic memory references”) to be used are all names of files, data and statements from the program as contained in the LSD records, and the source references generated by the compiler. It may be necessary to precede them by qualifications, as described below.
In all operands in which it is possible to use compl-memref it is permitted to switch as the need arises between the memory references described in this manual and AID - Debugging on Machine Code Level (Related publications) [2], provided no explicit restrictions exist (see section “Symbolic memory references”).
