RE: Dumb debug question of the week.

Dan,
        Here is the actual scenario.


This is a MAPICS User Exit program that is used to call other programs. Now
All the Mapics stuff is interactive until you press the execute button and
it goes out and does it's stuff then call the user exit. At that point I
call a small program called DBGWAIT which pauses the user exit so that I can
get into it and start debugging. It is still under control of the active
session. I don't know any other way to get the user exit to go into debug
without the pause.

        These are all rpg400 programs so I can't use WDSC.

Not sure, since I've never used iSeries Distributed Debugger, but since I
don't see any response to your post, I'll just ask some basic questions.

Why are you doing a "wait state"?  Can't you start the debugger for the
interactive job first before running the program you're trying to debug?
That's how the green-screen debugger works anyway.

A simple google turned up
http://www.itjungle.com/mpo/mpo073103-story02.html.  I didn't bother to read
it, but it looked like it might have the kind of information you're looking
for.
