You don't say so specifically in your post, so I'll try the obvious
1st:  the ILE debugger works just like the non-ILE one in that invoking
the debugger and invoking the program to be debugged are two
seperate steps.  So, even though you get source displayed and can
set breakpoints, etc. after a STRDBG command, you pgm hasn't
started executing yet.  Try CALL TIMLIB/ILE006 when you get
"slammed" back to the menu, and you should get the source displayed
again.  This time, the pgm really is executing and it's stopped at the
first breakpoint you set (that'd be the highlighted line of source code
on your screen)
