RE: newbie: simple file output problem, debugging

Here's a short reference for the OPM debugger:

When you compile the program to be debugged, make sure the source listings
option parameter (OPTION) is set to *SRCDBG. 

Start Debugger:
STRISDB
        example - STRISDB PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM) PARM('MYPARM') UPDPROD(*YES)
        The UPDPROD parameter lets your debug session open files for I/O.

Function Keys:

F10 Cursor to Command Line/Menu
Tab Cursor to Command Line/Menu

F3  Exit
F12 Cancel

F9  Retrieve previous command

F4  Go to current statement being executed
F7  Page Up
F8  Page Down
F19 Shift Left
F20 Shift Right

F16 Find string in code
F14 Program List

F5  Step  
F6  Break
F17 Run
F13 Run to location of cursor

F11 Show Variable - must have the cursor on the variable whose value you
want to see
F23 Change Variable  - must have the cursor on the variable whose value you
want to change

Common Command-Line Commands:
 
TOP
BOTTOM
nnn - enter line number
UP nnn - move up nnn lines
DOWN nnn - move down nnn lines      
LEFT nnn - move left nnn spaces
RIGHT nnn - move right nnn spaces
BACKWARD nnn - move back nnn pages
FORWARD nnn - move forward nnn pages

ADDISDBPGM program-name - add additional programs to the debug session
RMVISDBPGM program-name - remove programs from a debug session

WATCH variable-name  - lets you see the value of a variable as it changes
UNWATCH variable-name - removes the line showing the value of the variable 

BREAK nnn WHEN variable-name = X  - break on line nnn when the variable has
value X

Hope this helps.
Kelly
Thanks,
Kelly
