RE: How to Debug ILE RPG Batch Pgm

["Gary Monnier" <garymon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Parvez,

As with any program that runs in batch it can be initially debugged
interactively.  In the instance you describe all you need to do is get the
data queue and program in question into a test environment, start debug on
the program, and then call the program.  You can then step through every
line in the program.  You might want to compile the program with debug view
as *LIST.  This will make any copied statements available for debugging
also.

Debugging your program this way should help you eliminate most bugs in your
ILE RPG program.  Any bugs related to database overrides, etc. may still
remain.  But, you can use the same technique to find them also.  Just apply
it to the CL.

Subject: How to Debug ILE RPG Batch Pgm


Hi,

There is an ILE RPG Batch Program which posts Transactions. It accepts data
from Data Queue and then processes it.
My problem is that I'm not able to debug that program.

The program was running in batch. I did STRSRVJOB and then STRDBG.
But when I reached there in the program, I pressed F10=Step and the program
came out.

Could you please suggest me how to do it. How to add the break points.
ADDTRC doesn't work with ILE.

Thanx,

Parvez
