Have a straight access (button) to system debugger on the 5250 emulator.,

    Putting the debugger access on the Tools menu dropdown on the main ACS window is better, but still somewhat hidden. For users that seldom have the main ACS window open but do have a 5250 session open most of the time, making the debugger accessible directly from the 5250 session rather than having to start the main ACS window, select the Tools menu, and select the debugger would be better still.

    The Debugger access has been moved from only under Run SQL Scripts to out under the main dashboard. is that sufficient ? Not sure moving to under 5250 is also necessary ?

    CEAC has discussed this idea and came to the conclusion that this function already exists in the main panel.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT
