RE: Is CODE going to help me? -- CODE400-L

--
Here's some new information.

I do this on the AS400:

ENDDBGSVR
ENDPJ SBS(QSYSWRK) PGM(QSYS/Q5BWHSRV) OPTION(*IMMED)
STRDBGSVR

Now when I run WRKACTJOB and examine the list,

I do see QSYSJOBD, with a status of PGM-Q5BROUTE.

I do NOT see Q5BWHSRV !

Is this a problem?

Thanks

Morgan
