Re: Debugging a batch program

[Tyra_Brodsky@xxxxxxx]

Mike:

What you are doing is correct.  After you do the strdbg command you need to
release the job or jobq.  DON'T TOUCH YOUR KEYBOARD.  When the job becomes
active, a message will appear on your screen that will allow you to press
F10 to enter debug commands or enter to continue.  Press F10.  Enter the
debug commands you need.  When the job is finished you will need to ENDDBG
and ENDSRVJOB.

Hopefully this is clear....its been a while since I've done this.

Good luck

Tyra

How do I debug a batch program?

I know you can use STRSRVJOB and then use STRDBG. So what I did was put the
jobq on hold (test jobq so it is not a major thing to put on hold) so I
could get the job number. Then used STRSRVJOB on the job, followed by
STRDBG
and was going to set a break point, but it wouldn't let me set one.
Something about "cannot perform this function when job is not active". Am I
doing something wrong? The job runs for about 20 seconds normally.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Mike

BTW this is a RPG program.
