The job is not started. We always, OPM at least, held the job on the jobq
and used the STRSRVJOB command for the job. Then we would STRDBG on the
program. Once the job started we were able to add the necessary
breakpoints. ILE RPG won't allow us to do this. The program is being called
from a MAPICS batch program using MAPICS's User Exits. Adding a DLYJOB to a
batch program so that you can debug it seems a little much. Seems switching
to ILE RPG makes your life harder not easier.

Is it me or is the ILE debugging tools extremely lacking in function. And
while I'm at it, how do you debug both an OPM and an ILE program together?
