RE: Problems with the IBM Distributed Debugger

Barry:
        That is very strange.  I am on the new WDT400 v4.5.1 with the SP1
and I still cannot get the debugger to work on the AS400.  Some of the
others in my department are still on the previous version (which we did have
the debugger working).  It was not until the v4r4 OS400 upgrade that we
noticed that the STRDBGSVR command was not working.  Based on what I am
seeing and your link to the PTFs for v4r4, I believe that it is a PTF
problem.  I am going to run this past our tech guys and check to see if we
need any of the PTFs.  Thanks for getting back to me.  I will keep the list
up to date of my progress. Thanks!
