Re: Debug question

In Windows, Preferences, Compiled Debug, IBM i Debug--there is a checkbox
'Terminate debug session on program completion'. This is checked by
default. Uncheck it and you should see your desired results although you
might find it works better to debug the CL, add the RPG programs, set
break points within them (like at the first executable statement), and
then let things roll.

What's happening is the debug session is terminating when the first
program completes, but things can't recycle quickly enough to initiate
another debug session when the second program starts. I don't know that
simply having a Service Entry Point set on the second program will cause
it to stop when it enters. That's why I suggest adding the program and
setting a breakpoint yourself.

[WDSCI-L] Debug question


I have one CL program that calls two RPG programs. The RPG programs
are compiled with a debug view, and a Service Entry Point has been
set in both RPG programs. I call the CL program from a green screen
session. RDI brings up the first RPG program, and allows me to step
through it to see what I need to see. When I am finished debugging
the first program, I want it to continue (to the end), and then have
the RDI debugger stop when the second program initiates. When I
press F8 in the first program, the second program never goes into
debug, and then CL ends. I have tried all of the different Step F-
keys, and the second program never appears in the debug session.

I am running V 9.1

Has anyone else had this problem? A co-worker of mine has this same
issue with a different (older) version of RDI. Are we both doing
something wrong?
