That did it. Thanks heaps. I need to look up debugging threads, since it is odd to me that a thread started by the job in which I run STRDBG is not handled by the debug environment, but all threads are caught with STRSRVJOB.

I vaguely remember the post, too.

Vern,

I recently wrote my first UDF, also in a service program.  To debug it I
started a service job on an interactive session, started debug on the
module then used the function in a STRSQL session.  It takes two
interactive sessions but it worked fine.  IIRC there was a post a few
weeks ago that pointed me in this direction.

-----Original Message-----
I'm at V5R1. I have a couple UDFs defined in a *SRVPGM - don't know if
that
matters. When I try to debug, it never stops at the breakpoint.

I've tried a 'sleep' (like DLYJOB) so that I can use WRKOBJLCK VERN
*USRPRF, but nothing has the lock that seems to be handling this. I've
looked for TIMW, but there are way too many jobs in that state. I've
tried
FENCED and NOT FENCED, but no difference - of course, was that supposed
to
matter on V5R1? And if no, why does it allow the use of the clause?

Why ask why? ;-)

Appreciate your thoughts and knowledge.
