RE: Debugging batch jobs

["Don Freeman" <DFreeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My first attempts at using the debugger had the same results.  No warning or 
error message anywhere, but no results either.

Have you done a
  STRDBGSVR
from a terminal window?

If so and you still can't get IDEBUG to start up then do a
  ENDPJ SBS(QSYSWRK) PGM(QSYS/Q5BWHSRV) OPTION(*IMMED)
from the same terminal window then try
  STRDBGSVR
again.

I have also found that I have to qualify any editor external commands (.EXE) 
files with the path name when I use them in macros (but not from the command 
line which is weird).  This is an anomaly that the CODE developers have not 
been able to replicate though, so it may be just particular to my installation 
but if all else fails you could try that also.

Good Luck,
-Don

BTW, once I got it up and running it's been good to work with (not great but 
good).  I never could get used to the IBM supplied AS/400 debugger (I pleaded 
and sniveled until my employers bought Extermin8 to shut me up), as I was used 
to the Borland PC debugger which rocked!

Subject: Debugging batch jobs

I have a situation where I have a menu that submits the job I want to debug.
I submit it on hold, but when I go into the debugger and pull up my job list
it only shows my interactive session. Why is this? Obviously, it's submitted
with my userID. If I display all jobs in the job list and select mine, it
says that it's not found. Am I doing something wrong?
