Re: Debugging problem at V5R3

OK, if it works for you then it must be something unique to my machine. I can't even set that initial breakpoint, much less run the program to it. That's the main thing I wanted to confirm before going to IBM with this. I was hoping someone else had already run into this issue. I can't think of anything unique about our system that would cause it to work differently than anyone else's that have been on V5R3 for awhile.
I've determined the breakpoint setting problem is across the board for me on all modules that don't happen to be the PEP module in a *PGM as well as all modules used in *SRVPGMs. I've even taken out the NOMAIN keyword on one and added a RETURN statement in the C-specs and it still won't set a breakpoint properly, even though STRDBG works fine on the module that is the PEP in the same program.
Since it only occurred when we upgraded and it is affecting all modules that contain procedures only, I have to assume it is a system wide problem. There is still two of those PTFs on the IBM site we haven't loaded yet, so I will try those next even though they were not intended for the same problem.
Thanks Rob, for your help and if anyone comes up with anything else, please let me know.

Set a breakpoint in SRVPGM here
370       C     WorkDate      SubDur    AnySunday     WorkNum:*D
Which is the first C spec in the subprocedure
CALL NELSON
And I think it was this line it first stopped on
358       P     DayOfWeek   B                   EXPORT
Then I did
F10=Step
and it went to the breakpoint.
