Re: Debugging a batch program

Let me back up for a minute.
First, I compile everything with DbgView(*List) when using
debug.
Second, after releasing the batch job and pressing F10 to
enter debug commands, I rarely set break points initially. I
press F10 (in debug) to start step mode.
This way the program breaks immediately upon starting. I
continue to press F10 to step through the program unless I
need a breakpoint to get directly to a problem.
Third, make sure you are setting break points on code that
is going to be executed.

Hope this helps.

I'm also at V4R4.
