Loads symbol information for one or more shareable images and establishes the current image. Format SET IMAGE [image-name[, . . . ]]
1 – Parameters
image-name Specifies a shareable image to be set. Do not use the asterisk (*) wildcard character. Instead, use the /ALL qualifier. Do not specify an image name with /ALL.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /ALL
Specifies that all shareable images are set.
3 – Description
The SET IMAGE command builds data structures for one or more specified images but does not set any modules within the images specified. The current image is the current debugging context: you have access to symbols in the current image. If you specify only one image with the SET IMAGE command, that image becomes the current image. If you specify a list of images, the last one in the list becomes the current image. If you specify /ALL, the current image is unchanged. Before an image can be set with the SET IMAGE command, it must have been linked with the /DEBUG or /TRACEBACK qualifier on the DCL command LINK. If an image was linked /NOTRACEBACK, no symbol information is available for that image and you cannot specify it with the SET IMAGE command. Definitions created with the DEFINE/ADDRESS and DEFINE/VALUE commands are available only when the image in whose context they were created is the current image. When you use the SET IMAGE command to establish a new current image, these definitions are temporarily unavailable. However, definitions created with the DEFINE/COMMAND and DEFINE/KEY commands are available for all images. Related commands: SET MODE [NO]DYNAMIC (SET,SHOW,CANCEL) MODULE (SHOW,CANCEL) IMAGE
4 – Example
DBG> SET IMAGE SHARE1 DBG> SET MODULE SUBR DBG> SET BREAK SUBR This sequence of commands shows how to set a breakpoint on routine SUBR in module SUBR of shareable image SHARE1. The SET IMAGE command sets the debugging context to SHARE1. The SET MODULE command loads the symbol records of module SUBR into the run-time symbol table (RST). The SET BREAK command sets a breakpoint on routine SUBR.
