Re: Lost source of old RPG PGM

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.

Just following this thread ...

I have a OPM program with Observable information *ALL

A DMPOBJ does seem to show some source info but not in any format that I
could use easily.

What if any other options do I have to try and recreate the program source
?

Thanks

Don

Here's a fat chance - but if your program has *LSTDBG debug info, you
can DMPOBJ to spooled file and see the source. As I suggested, there is
little chance this is the case, but who knows?

Hello all

I thought this would not happen to ME but it just did

A developer here just asked me to help him find a source of an OLD OPM

RPG

program.
Apparently the source is lost for a looong time as digging in
several-years-old backups did not
unearthed it.
Unfortunately, the PGM object has no debug data (STRDBG displays

nothing)

is there a way to retrieve the source from the PGM object (besides

dumping)

?


Any help would be gladly received
