## About the Debugger

The debugger is integrated in Natural Studio. The complete Natural Studio functionality can be used in parallel to the debugger. For example, when the debugger is active, you can navigate to another object in the library workspace or you can search for a specific object using the Find Object command.

The debugger is used to debug Natural applications in the local environment. To be able to debug Natural applications, it is required to set the subparameter `DEBUGGER` of the Natural parameter `GPGEN` to "ON" before you catalog the Natural application (see also Preparing to Use the Debugger). Natural Studio handles all steps internally (such as setting up or terminating the communication with the corresponding server).

See also Environments and Views in the Library Workspace in the documentation Using Natural Studio and Accessing a Remote Development Environment in the documentation Remote Development Using SPoD.

Note
Several differences exist when you debug applications in a remote z/OS environment. These differences are listed in the platform-specific Natural Development Server (NDV) documentation which applies to this Natural release. The NDV documentation is available separately; it is not part of this Natural for Windows documentation.

## Remote Debugging

Remote debugging is no longer supported. Instead, you will have to use the debugger of NaturalONE. Using the NaturalONE debugger, it is possible, for example, to debug Natural RPC applications or to debug workplace applications which have been created with Natural for Ajax.
