Re: Debugging a COM program in XA interactively....

May I ask what debugger you do use? ASNA's? I forgot but eons ago they
were the only ones to have one - the name had an '8' in it...

I do not use the IBM debugger, but it should be very similar if you are.

Start a MAPICS session, enter the command to start the debugger ( I
think
it is strdbg for the IBM version), enter the program name you want to
debug & tell it *Yes on the update production files. If you are running

in a production environment and do not say *yes, I am pretty sure it
will
not display interactive screens. It has been a while since I have done
a
debug without saying *yes.

Then set your breakpoint & then navigate to the menu option that will
run
your program.

Batch jobs are more work to debug. For those you have to put the job-q
on
hold where it will be running, submitt the job to batch. Get the job
name, number & user running it. Enter that info on the strdbg command,
set your breakpoint, then release the job-q to allow the job to run.

[MAPICS-L] Debugging a COM program in XA interactively....






Hello Everyone,
I no longer have instructions on de-bugging an interactive XA program
(or batch, for that matter). Does anyone have any instructions, and if
they do, would you please forward to me? Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,
