Re: Debugging batch jobs

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Chris;

The only luck I've had with a debugger is the ILE debugger on the AS/400.

1) Submit the job on hold
2) STRSRVJOB on the submitted job
3) start the debugger for the program to be debugged.  You can't set
breakpoints or watches yet, but it's part of the steps.
4) Release the job.  This pops up a screen that will let you enter debug
commands.
5) Key DSPMODSRC and press enter.  This should pop up the source for you to
set breakpoints or start stepping through the program.

I have found the debugger with Code product slow and unusable when working
with programs running on the AS400.

Hope this helps!
