Installing the SPM Software
NOTE:
The DEBUG attribute is also specified in ams.cfg as DEBUG=O (off), the default
setting, or DEBUG=1 (on). This attribute is used to enable the Escape-to-Shell
feature of SPM, activated by pressing [ Ctrl ] + [ F9 ]. To turn DEBUG on, you must
edit the ams.cfg file; it is not part of the initialization process. The DEBUG
attribute is for use by qualified service personnel only.
