Re: <<< Help debugging an RPG-CGI Program >>>

Vernon,

For your information, you can debug batch jobs using STRDBG at V5R1 (and
earlier releases too). Set parameter "Start job"to *NO and the last
parameter is default *SELECT will show a list of all active jobs in job
number sequence. select your job to debug and STRSRVJOB is executed
automagically, too.

To stop debug such jobs: ENDDBG and ENDSRVJOB.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.

Exactly. And in recent releases it is possible to use something 
called a SEP so that you don't need to know the job, just the 
program. I've not used it yet, as I develop on V5R1, where it is not
available.

The CGI job or jobs run as one of the jobs in subsystem QHTTPSVR and 
have the job name equal to the name of the http server instance.

And on the STRDBG, add the OPMSRC(*YES) parameter if your program is 
not ILE but created with OPTION(*SRCDBG) or OPTION(*LSTDBG).

Good luck
Vern

your CGI program?"

I am not an expert Vernon but I used to debug this specific program in

the

past (like 3-4 yrs ago) by starting a service program for that job: (like
STRSRVJOB JOB(JobNumber/JobUser/JobName) ) and by starting debug mode for
the program and setting my breakpoints: (like STRDBG

PGM(Library/Program/)

UPDPROD(*YES)), for example.

Is something like that what you are referring to?  I think that all I

need

to get in to the program and see, step-by-step, what is going on.
