Re: Help with Debug

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ron,

According to the help text, *COPY is the same as *SOURCE, except that
it includes the /copy members as well.  If you use *SOURCE, you have
to have the source member available (and unchanged) in order for that
debug view to work, so I don't think this is what you're looking for.

It appears that *LIST is what you're looking for...  this places a copy
of your compile listing in your object, so that when you use debug,
it will show the statements as they were during compile.

*SHOWCPY and *EXPDDS keywords determine what information is printed
in your compile listing, and consequently also affect what is available
for debugging when you use *LIST.   They include the /copy members,
and the external definitions of files, respectively.     They may be
turned on by default, I'm not sure -- but a little experimenting will
tell you this. :)
