To debug using a core dump

Note: Ensure that the project and the sources it compiles have not changed since the original executable was created; otherwise, any discrepancies in the .idy file used to debug and the one originally created (when the executable was built) will cause unexpected results during debugging.
  1. In the IDE, click Project > MyProject Properties and navigate to the Debug tab.
  2. Click Start external program and specify the name of the Micro Focus core file.
    If the project is a native COBOL mainframe project:
    • On the Debug tab in the project's properties, set Launch to Core Dump.
    • Then, browse to and select the Micro Focus core file.
  3. Start debugging.
