Re: What is the definition of "thread" in debug?

Hi Jeff,
There are jobs on the iSeries that are capable of running multiple threads.

This feature is mostly used by Java, however, if you call RPG code from
your Java class via a JNI (Java Native Interface) call, you might need to
deal with the fact that your job has multiple threads.

In addition, languages like C and C++ can use threads as well.

Since CODE debugger supports RPG, COBOL, Java, C, and C++, we
provide an interface to support such multi-threaded application.
Most RPG applications will have a single thread of execution and hence
the actual term 'thread' can be happily ignored.

Hope this helps,

'Course, this might appear to be an RPG issue unrelated to CODE. I'm
posting
it here to find out if there is a correlating concept in the CODE debugger.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!
