Thank you Philp and Tom. The link Debugger Issues CPF7E56 – Identifier is Ambiguous. was reallay helpfull to understand the behavior of the scenario..

Apparently, there are only two alternatives. Rename the program/module or rename the variable. This IBM document mentions the issue -- Debugger Issues CPF7E56 - Identifier is Ambiguous. Tom

But a variable named the same as the program/module does seem to behave that way in debug. Interesting. Tom

I’m not clear on how reading more carefully would help. It still doesn’t seem to be a complete program. Granted, an I-spec from an external file or similar might not show up; but the F-spec should. It would be far better to see actual source rather than a debug view. (Then we’d need to ensure that what is being debugged is also what was compiled.) Also, we need to know what the current statement is in debug. Tom

Read more carefully, Phil.
I would suppose that having a variable with the same name as a program might muck-up debug.

This cannot be the entire program. This would not compile. There is no definition shown for field AB (D spec, I spec, field width on C spec or as a field of an external file declared in an F-Spec..
