Hi Kevin

I think I've been on the wrong trail here - I thought I remembered that the ACS debugger (which is the one that comes with JT400) is a lot like the RDi debugger - I can't even start the ACS one at the moment, although I used it at least 7 years ago. It does seem to have Function keys based on the green screen one, I think the RDi debugger has different ones.

But I'll back out of this - obviously I don't have enough experience to even make guesses at this - my apologies!

Correct - F11 is the equivalent. He just didn't equate F10 - Step in the green screen to F11 - Step Over in the ACS Debugger. I think IBM just shortened the description on the f-key display at the bottom due to space reasons. F22 says Step Into, but F10 just says Step. However if you look at the help for the function keys, it explicitly says that F10 is Step Over.

F10=Step
Puts the program being displayed into step-over mode. After one
statement of the program runs, the Display Module Source display
is shown. To step through more than one statement, type in the
step command with a value entered for the statement count
parameter.

I think Roger wants the equivalent stuff in the ACS debugger.


That debugger is pretty much the same as the debugger in RDi. Roger, you

should be seeing a Debug menu, the step stuff might be there, and it

would have the F-keys to use for each. There should also be icons on the

toolbar, if you hover over them, I think they give you the shortcuts.


RDi has, in the Help menu, an item called "Cheat sheets" - click on that

and you'll get a dialog with an IBM i item, open it, and you will see

one for debugging - what you learn there is likely to be just as useful

for the ACS debugger.

F10 in green screen is step over. F11 would be the equivalent. And Shift F11 would be the same as F22 (Shift F10) in the green screen. Step Into.

I recently saw a couple of posts or articles about the ACS debugger.



Thought I'd try it out today but I don't see any means of single step through statements (F10 in green screen). Breakpoints, run to, step over, etc. but no single step.



Am I being completely oblivious to something?
