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

Carel - I do not have anything like that parameter on STRDBG. STRISDB has a 
parameter for whether to invoke the program, but it is not usable with ILE - 
besides, it does not give me a list of jobs.

You must have a custom version of the command. Or maybe a special one for the 
Netherlands!!

Vernon, 

For your information, you can debug batch jobs using STRDBG at V5R1 (and 
earlier releases too). Set parameter "Start job"to *NO and the last 
parameter is default *SELECT will show a list of all active jobs in job 
number sequence. select your job to debug and STRSRVJOB is executed 
automagically, too. 

To stop debug such jobs: ENDDBG and ENDSRVJOB.

Carel Teijgeler.

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.
