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

Rob,

 Out of curiosity, is it possible to set a SEP via green screen or is it
WDSC only?

 I agree that they are a HUGE improvement in debugging capability.

Service Entry Points, or SEP's, are a Godsend!
No more holding a job, STRSRVJOB, etc.  Really helpful when debugging
these things, and things like ftp exit point programs.  The ftp exit
points often start a new job for each new session.  No longer is it a big
hassle.
Repeat, SEP's are a Godsend!

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

I am not an expert Vernon but I used to debug this specific program in

the

past (like 3-4 yrs ago) by starting a service program for that job: (like
STRSRVJOB JOB(JobNumber/JobUser/JobName) ) and by starting debug mode for
the program and setting my breakpoints: (like STRDBG

PGM(Library/Program/)

UPDPROD(*YES)), for example.

Is something like that what you are referring to?  I think that all I

need

to get in to the program and see, step-by-step, what is going on.
