Re: Debugging RPG Program via WDSC

When you call a procedure in a service program, the service program is loaded into the activation group and remains loaded, until the activation group is ended or reclaimed. So, the previous version of the service program is still loaded, even if you recompile it.

You can reclaim the activation group (RCLACTGRP) or sign off the session you are using for testing and sign back on.

Subject: Debugging RPG Program via WDSC

We are using WDSC 7.0 (haven't upgraded to RDi yet).

We set a service entry point to debug a service program. We were
successfully debugging the program most of the morning and finally found
the issue. We corrected the issue, recompiled the service program, and
went back to testing. We found another issue we wanted to debug. We setup
the service entry point again. Now we can't get the program to break.
Tried recompiling every again, deleting and recreating the service entry
points in various ways, and even stopped and started the debug server
(ENDDBGSVR). Nothing seems to be get this service program to successfully
break when it is called. Everything is setup EXACTLY how it was setup this
morning, the only change is the service program was recreated. Any
suggestions? We're getting pretty frustrated. We are running V5R4.
