ColeSoft

ColeSoft provides enterprise debugging solutions for IBM Z environments. Its XDC Suite gives mainframe development and support teams interactive, source-level visibility into live program execution, authorized code, and post-mortem dumps. With Z/XDC V3.1, developers can now access the same powerful mainframe debugging capabilities directly within Visual Studio Code, helping organizations modernize development workflows, accelerate troubleshooting, and make IBM Z development more accessible to today’s developers.

 

Z/XDC V3.1 brings interactive, source-level debugging for IBM Z directly into Visual Studio Code. Developers can connect to active debugging sessions, navigate source and call stacks, set breakpoints, inspect and modify storage, map structures with DMAPs, and troubleshoot live programs without leaving the editor. Z/XDC combines modern VS Code workflows with enterprise-grade z/OS debugging capabilities, helping teams accelerate problem resolution and make mainframe development more accessible to today’s developers.

AuthXDC extends Z/XDC with interactive debugging for authorized and constrained z/OS environments. Development teams and systems programmers can follow execution through APF-authorized programs, supervisor-state routines, SVCs, PC routines, SRBs, cross-memory environments, and FRR-protected code. By extending source-level visibility into areas where traditional debugging tools can lose context, AuthXDC helps teams diagnose complex system-level software while maintaining a continuous debugging workflow.

DumpXDC brings Z/XDC’s source-level debugging capabilities to post-mortem z/OS dump analysis. Developers use familiar Z/XDC commands to view source code, format control blocks, inspect program state, and investigate production failures without reproducing the original issue. By turning cryptic dump data into readable, source-level information, DumpXDC helps development and support teams diagnose failures faster and reduce reliance on specialized dump-analysis expertise.
