This configuration variable gives you some control over where remote program debugging occurs. ACUCONNECT_DEBUG_METHOD is undefined by default and may take one of these values: XTERM, TERMINAL, THIN, or THINCLIENT. These settings also determine what values the ACUCONNECT_DEBUG_METHOD_STRING configuration variable takes.
| Setting | Result | 
|---|---|
| XTERM | The remote runtime creates an xterm and uses it for interaction with the runtime debugger. ACUCONNECT_DEBUG_METHOD_STRING should be set to the name of the X server to which the xterm is displayed. | 
| TERMINAL | The terminal named in ACUCONNECT_DEBUG_METHOD_STRING is used by the runtime to interact with the user for debugging the remote COBOL program. | 
| THIN or THINCLIENT | The client runtime attempts to start an instance of the thin client with the correct parameters using the client machine name and port number specified in ACUCONNECT_DEBUG_METHOD_STRING. |
