  • Stack pattern breakpoint in COBOL
    Patent number: 10204029
    Abstract: Examples of techniques for setting a stack pattern breakpoint for a COBOL program are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include providing a static program control flow view of a plurality of COBOL paragraphs of the COBOL program. The method may further include enabling a user to select the stack pattern using the static program control flow view of the plurality of COBOL paragraphs of the COBOL program. The method may also include setting, by a processing device, the stack pattern breakpoint in source code of the COBOL program using information from a compiler compiling the COBOL program to create a pseudo-stack that can be operated on by a debugger to evaluate stack pattern conditions for the plurality of COBOL paragraphs.
    Type: Grant
