Booth,
The STRDBG command turns your debug mode for a program on for the AS/400
session.  Set the breakpoints with F6 in your source.  If there are other
modules or programs that you need to set breakpoints, use F14 and then use
option 1 to add the program/module to the list.  Then use option 5 to display
it.  Set the breakpoints.  If your program, updates database files, you will
need to turn on the Update production files on the STRDBG command panel.

Call the program the way you normally would.  If you set the breakpoints right,
you will stop at the breakpoints.

To turn debug mode off in the AS/400 session, you need to run ENDDBG.
