Re: <<< Help debugging an RPG-CGI Program >>>

Exactly. And in recent releases it is possible to use something 
called a SEP so that you don't need to know the job, just the 
program. I've not used it yet, as I develop on V5R1, where it is not available.

The CGI job or jobs run as one of the jobs in subsystem QHTTPSVR and 
have the job name equal to the name of the http server instance.

And on the STRDBG, add the OPMSRC(*YES) parameter if your program is 
not ILE but created with OPTION(*SRCDBG) or OPTION(*LSTDBG).

Good luck
Vern
