Re: debug not working with CLP??

If the debug screen opens and you see no source, then you did not compile the program with debug information, as someone else mentioned. Probably. I don't remember, but it might be that you get no message when debugging OPM programs, as I think you do with an ILE program that has no debug information.
If you do have source showing, F6 sets the breakpoint. I strongly suggest also using F1 at the command line, where you can get more information. E.g., you can set a breakpoint that breaks when a certain condition is met. There are also options to run for a certain number of statements, IIRC.
If you have source showing and set no breakpoint, you can have the program stop at the first executable statement by using F10, otherwise used for stepping statement by statement. If you use F12 without setting a breakpoint, you will not stop in the running of the program. In this latter case, use DSPMODSRC to show the source again, then set a breakpoint or use F10.
Also, as I said in another post, I suggest doing everything as CLLE - there are only a couple gotchas to watch out for, and you can find about them in the CL manual, IIRC, or in an ILE manual.

If I try to debug a CLP program with STRDBG OPMSRC(*YES)  The debugger

find.

What I have done is to change the source from CLP to CLLE, compile it, and
then start the debugger, find my problems, fix them, and then change the
source back to CLP.  That seems pretty bush league to me.  I should be smart
enough to debug CLP, right?

The question I was asking is: How does one use the debugger for CLP?

*what* is bush league?  What is your question, exactly?  What part of

debugging a program leaves you looking for a better alternative?  Because

I haven't a clue what you're getting at.
