RE: Debug in ILE

["Lester S. Shaw" <lshaw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Watch is not as friendly in ILE and I don't use it.  To use put cursor on
variable that you want to watch and press F17.  To work with "Watched
Variables" use F18.  I believe that it will tell you how many times the
variable has been changed.

Not sure what to tell you about your exit program problem.  I don't recall
ever having the problem that you are reporting.  You might try removing all
of your breakpoints and hitting F12.  Is your program manipulating QTEMP?

I can step now.  I did the F6 to break and did the call before posting but
was missing the F12.

Since you've been so helpful, I have two more questions.
1)How can I do a watch (like I do in STRISDB) and
2)When I try to exit the program with an F3, I get an XSYSTEM and I have to
end my job in WRKACTJOB.

Thanks much.

Anita,

After entering the STRDBG command, set at least one breakpoint (type BREAK
XXXX on command line where XXXX represents line number OR F6 on line number
you would like to break on).  Then hit F12 to return to your command line.

Next call your program.

Hope that helps.

Lester

I am trying to write all new programs in ILE.  But I cannot use debug.  I am
trying to read the manual and have compiled it various ways, including:

CRTBNDRPG PGM(MYLIB/RPGPGM) DFTACTGRP(*NO) DBGVIEW(*SOURCE)ACTGRP(*NEW)

After playing around with this, I was able to view the source.

But, when I try to debug it, I use:

STRDBG (MYLIB/RPGPGM)

At this point, I select F10 to step through the program (I normally use
STRISDB).
This is when it returns me to where I was before the STRDBG command.

Can anyone shed any light?  Your help is appreciated.
