Re: Lost source of old RPG PGM

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Don

The debug information depends on the option you picked when compiling - 
if *SRCDBG, you will probably see the file and member of where the 
source should be. *LSTDBG should have put the source into the program 
object. I don't remember whether you can specify both, with ILE you have 
an *ALL option. There is also the *STMT option, which I find to be 
completely useless these days.

Regards
Vern
