OK, I'm going to get dinged for this, but there's another reason to use STRISDB. STRDBG, the iSeries Graphical Debugger, and the WDSc debugger do not run against RPG II programs. There is a gotcha here, though. If it is an RPT36 source member (usually because of /COPY statements), even ISDB won't work against it. It is necessary to create and compile a surrogate program with the /copy stuff copied directly into the source and compiled as an RPG36 member. The only other option is to use the DEBUG op-code, and sometimes this is not enough; been there, done that.

Alan -

Before you can use the ILE debugger (STRDBG) on an OPM program, you must
first compile it with OPTION(*LSTDBG) or OPTION(*SRCDBG).
