RE: H Spec DBGView -- RPG400-L

I feel that only in startup, so I just decide to take the hit first thing 
in the morning. So it's up all day.  There's a WDSC list that I also 
subscribe to and that is very helpful in becoming more productive in it. 
It's (WDSC) a big animal and it will take some time to get around it.  I'm 
on the "other side" now, and I'd never go back.  You've got to have a big 
machine to run it.  I'm at 512mb and I really wish I was at 1gb.  Also, 
for screen design and printer file design, CODE designer is the way to go. 


Good luck.

Jeff

I find WDSC runs very slow?  Do you experience the same?

Regards,
Terry

Terry,

I use WDSC for all my work.  So I setup a compile command that always adds 

the DBGVIEW(*SOURCE)  (or *LIST)  at compile time.

Re: H Spec DBGView






Hi Terry

I'm afraid there isn't.  However there was a recent thread on this list 
talking about pre-compiling source members and Denis Robitaille kindly 
allowed his pre-compiler to be posted for everyone's use.   The save file 
is available for download from Leif Guldbrand's site (www.think400.com) 
and will allow you to specify the compiler options you want to use as 
comments within the source member.

Hope it helps.

best regards

Now - I love RPG.  If I can't do something, it's because I don't how yet 
(not because the language prevents me.)
