Excellent research! Thanks.

(But I bet the only fix, if any, will be to the documentation.)

INFO: IBM i System Debugger not stopping on breakpoints
=======================================================

This is a post inspired by two past posts which did not find a correct solution:

"ACS System Debugger doesn't want to work" https://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/202210/msg00244.html
and
"System Debugger" https://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/202306/msg00321.html

Both posts describe the problem that System Debugger wouldn't stop on breakpoints (with the breakpoints briefly flashing in yellow).

I also observed this, on a local V7.2 system and on PUB400 V7.5

Quick Answer:
-------------

The debugging user needs *JOBCTL special rights for this to work.

This applies to debugging option "Submit and debug program in batch job"

N.B.:
PUB400 won't allow *JOBCTL - for a good reason, see below - so this won't work until (hopefully) IBM fixes this.
