Re: File opens in RPG III

At the breakpoint, do a DSPJOB.  Look at open files - your production file is probably open.  Look at active job overrides, to see if something is slipping in somehow.  Check the program stack, just to be sure the right programs are running.  DSPJOB (or WRKJOB) is as valuable for debugging this sort of problem as STRDBG, in my world.


I see your test libraries have the *PROD attribute, so you can't debug with UPDPROD(*NO).  Can you change them?  CHGLIB command.  The error message when the job tries to update the production file will give you extra detail, especially if there's something like a trigger program over a file that's interfering somehow (yes, far-fetched, but could happen).

Recompiled program.  NO optimization, LSTDBG.

STRDBG update production files, OPMSRC(*YES)

Set breakpoints on every UPDAT.

Stopped on one.  Did F21, DSPLIBL.  Only TST libraries in library list.
Production file modified.

Program ended, and still library list shows only test libraries.

Now what?

The job was submitted to a job queue in the test environment.  I do not
understand this at all.
