Mark:  I don't know how to address using the debugger from a
different invocation level.  However, if the source is not available
on your system, compile with DBGVIEW(*LIST).

 There are some problems (usability and showstoppers) I've found w/ the
interactive debugger.  The main one is that it can't be invoked from a
different invocation level.  This is most evident when trying to debug an
application being run from a menu program.

 Another problem is that you need the source.  If you don't keep the source
on the production box, you're in trouble!

>(BTW, even with a fancy interactive source debugger, I still sometimes use

 I guess the answer is to use DSPLY.
