Re: STRDBG in ILE Cobol

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

I compile all my code with the debug setting to *all for testing.  You have
the choice to do *list, *source, *all, and some others.   *All lets you
choice between a list view and the source view.   Then you use the debug
command, which acts differently than the Interactive source debugger.  If
you have CODE/400, you also have a interactive source debugger, which I
have not used much because of response time, and other problems I have had
with it.

If your program calls another ILE program that has been compiled with the
debug setting on, you can step into that program with an F20 key.  It will
be added to the programs being debugged, and you can continue.  If you have
an OPM program that has been compiled with the correct debug option, I
believe that you can also step into that type of program without adding it
to the debug session first.

Hope this helps!
