Yeah, I have done SEP with it. Have to be on at least V5R3, of course.

Oh, I still look at earlier versions of InfoCenter, and of course IBM 
are changing names of everything. As far as the name of things.

I assume you've seen the PDF(s) for installing - it is pretty sparse for 
documentation. Still, it's better than the sbreak documentation (NONE) 
for STRDBG debugging.

The way to get a SEP breakpoint is to set just a breakpoint, clicking in 
left side of source. Then right click on the breakpoint and change its 
properties - very cool!

I wondered, too, at first, if SEP were supported - very glad to see that 
it is.

Have you found how you can bring up the graphical debugger (the name Kim 
?? used at COMMON for this) when you execute STRDBG? Also very cool!

Personally I find this debugger much easier to get running than the one 
in WDSC/RDi - something keeps defeating me in the latter - kind of like 
phone systems!!
