RE: Debugging PCML program calls

Thank you so much! I'd used Service Entry Points before, but it was
many moons ago! Nice to be reminded of them.

Problem was spotted and fixed within 5 minutes!

I am trying to debug the job on the AS400, but cannot for the life of
me work out in which job it is being run! I have displayed the
variables on the JAVA AS400Connection object and located the
QZDASOINIT job, which I serviced, but, while this is processing the
SQL statements in other parts of the procedure, it does not appear to
be running the PCML call! I also tried servicing the Logon job, but
no luck there either! There is also an AS400 object which is passed
to the ProgramCallDocument, but this does not seem to have a job
associated with it.

Use RDP (or RDi/WDSC) to set a service entry point ... that way you can
debug the program anytime it goes active for a specific user.

Just don't forget to disable or remove the SEP when you are done, or
you'll jump into the debugger when you don't expect it.
