You keep telling us how WDSC and all don't work - have you opened a support request with IBM? We're not going to help you much here, as you know.

One reason I press you on this is, the products have worked just fine for me - usually. And it's never been something that caused me to excoriate the whole thing in this venue.

Recently there was an announcement here of a fix for national language characters in source member names - I believe that had to address directly one of your concerns. I urge you NOT to give up, talk to IBM.

Now as to that syntax, yes - that is correct - if you are on the command line in the debug session and press F1 for help, you will see the sbreak and other commands - it is well-explained there.

You need to read about what really happens with SEP breakpoints - you will have to do some things when the program stops, and I can't explain it all here. I may have in another post in the last few months. Just know that if you don't read up on it, you'll be coming back here telling us it doesn't work, in all probability.

sbreak is explained in this article by Scott Klement - http://systeminetwork.com/article/easier-way-debug-batch-jobs

You might want to look at the system GUI debugger - it is similar to the one in RDp but is not the same - you can see some information at http://systeminetwork.com/article/strdbg-can-be-gui - I used it when I was not able to figure out how to use the debugger in early versions of WDSC. If your IBM i supports sep breakpoints, this debugger will let you set them.

Hi,

Heard/Read about this but never used it and now must.

Is this syntax correct?

SBREAK 4826 user was

Does this mean that when the user WAS tries to run the program, it will stop at the point indicated?

I can't try yet as I do not have acces to the user.
WDSC/RDP is not a solution for me as it does not work.

I need to be able to debug from a web application that calls an rpg program.

Thanks.
