Abend running a normal batch program in debugging mode ... otherwise it's ok running in normal tso way.

The message is telling the user that he/she has a PDS library somewhere BUT Cobol 6 needs PDSE library :

** GE001SCE FROM BLIB00.BATCH.LOAD LINK 10/27/10
XPD0572 RA051 ERROR WITH IEWBIND FUNC=LOADW, GE007SCE IS A PROGRAM
OBJECT AND THE XDYNAMIC DATASET IS A PDS

This error is received because of the XDYNAMIC dataset type setting.
It is a PDS when it should be a PDSE.

The solution in BMC AMI DevX Code Debug/Eclipse:

To change the XDYNAMIC "Dataset Type", go into the 'debug configurations' and select the 'work files' tab. Here type an 'L' beside "Dataset Type" to switch to PDSE.

The solution in BMC AMI DevX Code Debug for TSO on the mainframe for a current profile:

To change the XDYNAMIC "Dataset Type", go into SEtup; select 'E' (Extended); and then 'W' (Work). At the bottom of the panel, type an 'L' beside "Dataset Type" to switch to PDSE. This only affects the current profile.

The solution in BMC AMI DevX Code Debug for TSO on the mainframe for all the Xpediter users:

To change the XDYNAMIC "Dataset Type" for all BMC AMI DevX Code Debug for TSO users, change the site-wide defaults to have PDSE set as the default Dataset Type for XDYNAMIC.
