Re: R: R: ACS Debugger - Single Step?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure I would call it a skin over STRDBG - the green screen 
debugger is not involved that I know of. You may easily have more 
knowledge that I do.

The ACS debugger is completely Java and uses the *DEBUG TCP/IP server. 
The latter probably uses the same resources as STRDBG does, but the 
System Debugger has capabilities that STRDBG doesn't have, especially 
nice ways to navigate like "run to cursor" - when I was playing with 
this, I loved that one.

Cheers
Vern

Batch jobs you can either submit the job on hold, and then attach to it via the debugger, or the debugger has a way to start a job in batch.
