Since I was unaware of this technique to find out the complete job name/number, I used the following work around:

I have the CGI program write the job info to the web page as hiden variable. Then I just display the HTML source and the STRSRVJOB required info is there for me. I can then proceed with the STRSRVJOB and STRDBG.

As I just replied to Nathan, this does not set ro add an SEP. These are
the old instructions for debugging a job other than your own. The
problem is, you often can't know that job beforehand, especially when
dealing with server jobs like CGI or QZDASOINIT or remote command jobs.

These instructions mean that you already know the job where the program
will be running, which SEPs were meant to resolve.

To add an SEP in green screen, you use the SBREAK command in debug
session. You then F12 out of the session and wait for a message, where
the complete STRSRVJOB command string is given to you,

Then you execute it as given here in a new job, and then do the STRDBG
in the new job and set the breakpoint with F6 or BREAK, at the same line
number you used for SBREAK.

This is less simple than the case where you know the job to debug, but
I've found a reasonable set of steps that are not onerous. RDP, of
course, takes care of the heavy lifting of the STRSRVJOB and all.

My steps for doing this on green-screen are in the archives -

Bob, how do you add a SEP on the green screen?

Thanks,

With WDSC or RDI/RDP you can set a Service Entry Point. That's how I've
done it. You have to get the permissions right, but it works great. You can
also do that for your green screen debugging, that way you always use the
same debugging tool.

Hello all,

I am using CGIDEV2 to develop an RPG program that present web pages.

When I needed to debug interactive green screen program, I used STRDBG to
walk trought the code as it ran.

Does any one know of an easy way to do the same thing with a CGIDEV2
programs?

Thanks
