Re: What goes where?

When you say DBGVIEW(*ALL), you will have both source and listing available for debugging and maybe more, although I don't usually look for more. Source only puts the name of the source member into your program, and when you STRDBG, it tries to find it. The listing is part of the program object. It makes that object larger by the size of the source, thereabouts. This is not usually a problem, in my opinion.

What you are seeing is probably the listing - does it show you the contents of /copy members? That is a clue to me. You might try pressing F15 to see what debug views you have and pick the one that says RPGLE listing (in French, of course!!).

The listing is the most reliable, in my opinion, because it is the source from which the program was compiled.

Aren't there any issues with debugging? Aren't the source

files needed?
The source files are not needed. See CRTBNDRPG DBGVIEW(*LIST)

All our programs are compiled thus :
CRTRPGMOD MODULE(&OBJLIB/&PGM) SRCFILE(&SRCLIB/&SRCF)
DBGVIEW(*ALL)

Then CRTPGM, etc.

I needed to debug a pgm in a development library. The developer had compiled in a development source file QRPGLESRC, then copied to another source file used for the deployment, deleting the original in QRPGLESRC. When I do STRDBG, a source member shows up with the message<File QRPGLESRC not available> and<File source modified>. I don't know what source member is being displayed on the screen, but it doesn't seem to be usable for debugging.
