It works for me...

Try setting a breakpoint at the very beginning of the program. The break
point you set might not even be touched by your program.

Subject: Re: Debugging a batch program



I have followed all the steps outlined below to debug a batch program.  The
problem is that even if I set a break point for the program running in the
batch job, the debugger will not stop a the break point.  If the program
runs long enough, I believe I can DSPMODSRC to look at the value of some
variables, but the breakpoints don't work.

When we first started programming with RPG IV (V3R2??) the breakpoints did
work on batch programs, but lately they don't.  Debugging interactive
programs works just fine.

FYI, we are currently running on V4R4.

I would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks,
Kirk

Instead of setting your break point when you are getting the error message,
press
F12 to go back to a command line. Release the out queue. A message will
display
stating "...press F10 for debug or enter to continue..." when your job goes
active. Press F10. Your source should appear (if not, use the DSPMODSRC
command).
Now, set your break points and continue.

Hope that helps
