Debugging a Program Called from Batch

Hi All,

 

Is there a way to debug a program that is run from a batch job?  We have
a few programs that will submit a batch job that runs a series of RPG
programs.  One of these programs I would like to debug, but when I
compile the source, start debug and submit the batch job, the program
will whip through everything without stopping on the specific breakpoint
in the RPG program.

 

So within the CL batch job we have:

 

Program A

Program B

Program C

Program D <-- I would like to debug this program

Program E

 

The only way we have found to get around this problem is to put a
breakpoint within the CL program on the call to the RPG program we want
to debug (for our example, Program D).  When it hits this point, we stop
processing and then manually run the RPG program (the previous programs
in the Batch job (Prog A - C) need to run because they generate the data
needed for this RPG program).

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

Brian.
