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

+1

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.

All very true. I just use both STRDBG and the system debugger so rarely, and for such simple things, that in my mind I just think of them as the same. Just one 5250 and one a java gui. 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.

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.

I'm not aware of any way to use it with SEPs. 99% of the time I use RDi. But occasionally for small quick debug's, I'll run the one in ACS. It is pretty much just a GUI skin over STRDBG. 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.
