Stop using QP2TERM and use SSH instead. It will solve future heartache.

If you start the Node.js app in a shell and don't submit it to batch then
you should see what is causing the error being output to the console.

The example in the URL you cite has code that manufactures an HTTP 500
response. Add a console.log() to that area of the code. For example...

file.on('error', function(err){
console.log('err:' +err); // <------ line I added
res.writeHead(500, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end("500 Internal Server Error");
});

Further on the debugging front...

I have both an RFE(n1) and PMR with IBM concerning the step Node.js
debugger not working on IBM i. I submitted it back in April so I am hoping
it's that they haven't had time to get to it and not actually something
significantly hard to solve (i.e. IBM i missing something that Linux/Mac
has).
