Re: Optimize *FULL

Keith,

If you're on a box on your system, you can create a DDM file on the
production box. For instance, if the source for program MYPGM (on the
production box PRDAS400) is in member MYPGM in file SOURCE/QRPGLESRC on the
development box DEVAS400, you can do the following on PRDAS400:

1. CRTLIB LIB(SOURCE)
2. CRTDDMF FILE(SOURCE/QRPGLESRC) RMTFILE(SOURCE/QRPGLESRC)
RMTLOCNAME(DEVAS400)

In theory, you can then use STRDBG on program MYPGM on PRDAS400 and it will
retrieve the source member for the debug session via the DDM file. In
practice I've had varied success with this - it's a bit flaky and somewhat
slower than if the source member is actually on PRDAS400. About 50% of the
time it says it can't find the source member and the joblog shows random
error messages (usually to do with the DDM connection).

When it works, however, it's a lifesaver.

Would be nice the debugger code access the source from a remote or
(support) client system.  Could be useful for more typical multisystem
environments where production does not have source.
