This Natural profile parameter allows debugging of an external Natural application from a z/OS or z/VSE host with NaturalONE. DBGAT corresponds to the NTDBGAT macro in the Natural parameter module.

Possible settings	See DBGAT Parameter Syntax.
Default setting	none
Dynamic specification	yes
Specification within session	no

For detailed information on how to debug external Natural applications, see the NaturalONE documentation.

This section covers the following topics:

• DBGAT Parameter Syntax

• NTDBGAT Macro Syntax

DBGAT Parameter Syntax

The DBGAT parameter is specified as follows:

DBGAT=(keyword-subparameter=value,...)

Where:

Keyword Subparameter	Value	Explanation
ACTIVE	ON	ON means that the debug attach mechanism is active. The Natural runtime is ready for debugging.
	OFF
HOST	1 - 64 characters	Name of the debug attach server that is to be connected.
PORT	0 - 65535	Number of the port to which the debug attach server listens.
CLID	1 - 64 characters	Client ID of the NaturalONE project that is to be debugged.

NTDBGAT Macro Syntax

The NTDBGAT macro is specified as follows:

         NTDBGAT ACTIVE=value,                                          *
               HOST=value,                                              *
               PORT=value,                                              *
               CLID=value

Example of DBGAT Parameter

DBGAT=(ACTIVE=ON,HOST=MYHOST,PORT=9999,CLID=MYCLIENTID)

Example of NTDBGAT Macro

         NTDBGAT ACTIVE=ON,                                            *
               HOST=MYHOST,                                            *
               PORT=50882
