RE: Problems with the IBM Distributed Debugger -- CODE400-L

Hi John:
        I did try all of the steps that you have outlined here.  I was able
to kill the Prestarted job with no problem, but when I try to start up the
debug sever I get the same problem again.  The job tries to start and then
looks like it ends with no problem.  I was able to get a joblog of the
STRDBGSVR command when it executes.  Below is what I found happening:

                                       07:57:48 after it used 1 seconds
processing unit time.  The job had ending   

I tried doing what was suggested here, but there were no locks that I could
see on the QSYS/Q5BROUTE object.  The one thing that I find odd is that
according to the joblog it appears to think that I issued the ENDDBGSVR
command when actually I issued the STRDBGSVR command.  Could this be
correct?  The command is not calling the correct program?  Thanks in
advance!
