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

I actually found the system debugger to be much easier to use than the 
early WDSC (I think it was in those days, before SEP setups).

The System Debugger and the WDSC/RDi debugger looked a lot alike to me 
at one time, but I was told that they come from a completely code base.

I do remember when the system debugger first came out how much I liked using it. Of course I've always been the only pc programmer in an Ibm i shop, so it looked like what I was used to.

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.
