RE: Step into service program in debug *Solved*

>>Perhaps RCLACTGRP would also have solved the problem.

I don't think so. This is apparently a bug in the debugger that was
acknowledged by the head of ILE development at a Common Session I went to.
Debugger service programs load information into memory and then doesn't
release them even if you end debugging and you end up having pointers  to
procedures that are not valid and the only safe way to make sure they are
released is to log off and on.

I have tried many times to RCLACTGRP but to no avail. I have just learned,
the moment I see anything funky going on, log off and back on.

My problem seems to have been related to activation groups.  I usually
compile my ILE programs/modules with ACTGRP(*CALLER) DFTACTGRP(*NO). 
When I signed off, then signed on and tried it again, I was able to step
into the SetUsrSpc service program.  I believe that the SetUsrSpc
procedure was accessing an old version of another procedure.  Perhaps
RCLACTGRP would also have solved the problem.
