I don't see how this is a debugging problem per se. The fact that you are
in debug should not be influencing the path through the program. When you
say it gets stuck on the delete, do you mean it never completes that
instruction, or do you mean it goes round the loop forever?

If the former you might suspect that the record you are trying to delete is
locked, possibly by the same program if you have more than one file
definition encompassing the underlying physical, although in normal
circumstances the instruction would eventually time out and return. A
common error is to read the file for update while loading the subfile. This
can leave a lock on the last record read. In RPG/IV you can use the N
extender on the read or chain opcode to avoid creating a lock.

If OTOH it just goes round and round the loop, what is the value of
"lstrrn2"? What is the definition of "count"? If "lstrrn2" is not less than
the maximum value that "count" can hold the loop can never end.
