Glad it worked for you!

Yes, it is difficult to debug a large batch job with lots of records without
STRSRVJOB.

I'm glad IBM created that command!

Joel.

I have performed a test on an OPM-pgm.  It worked nicely!  Just be sure to
get the right jobname, userid and job# when the STRSRVJOB is run!
When STRDBG is started on the testpgm, program control is given immediatly
to my screen,   From then, it's just like an ordinary debug session!  When
I leave the debug  with F3, the program continues like nothing has
happend.  Just wonderful!

Thanks a lot.

Oops - I gave the wrong cmd - it is STRSRVJOB, (not STRSRVPGM).

1)      Compile with debug = *list

2)      Run batch job

3)      DSPJOB to get user & job#

4)      STRSRVJOB user job#

5)      STRDBG progname

6)      now you can set breakpoints and step thru the job just like an
interactive debug session!


I think the STRSRVJOB command was written by IBM to do just what you are
wanting to accomplish.

Let me know if it works out for you.

Joel.

This sounds more like what I'm looking for.  Could you please give an
example on how to use STRSRVPGM and say something about what this command
does?  Do I have to compile the 'problem-pgm' with debug options to make
this work?

I'll like to make a looping program and test this.


Mvh.

Just curious, why not STRSRVPGM and STRDBG ?

First run the job.  When the problem occurs after thousands of records,
start the debug process (STRSRVPGM and STRDBG) and view the variables that
you want to see.

Hello.

I'm talking about an OPM-COBOL-program running on an AS/400(V4R4) only. Is
it possible to stop a running program controlled, and have a formatted
dump of the varables at the same time.

I'm not talking of running a program in debug mode.  The need described
above can occur after the program has processed thousends of records in
production environment, and starts to loop. I want, among other things, to
see what certain variables contain at the that point.

Maybe the only solution is to rerun the program in debug mode??


Mvh.

I'll help you with this, but need more information.  Is it Cross-Platform?
Advise me of application scenarios & specifics and/or email Cobol source
code, I can help nail down the problem and optimize program.  Since I'm
currently under-employed, I have spare time.
Confidentiality is assured.  Glad to be of assistance, if I may.
Sincerely,
Jim Walker
