Re: Debugging a CLP program within STRSRVJOB

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's also the iSeries Graphical Debugger, but it too requires that 
the CL or CLLE be compiled with the *SRCDBG or DBGVIEW( ) options, 
respectively.  Much nicer than STRDBG.  Sharon Hoffman wrote a good 
starter article on it in the September, 2007, issue of SystemiNews, in 
which she references a tip from Scott Klement on how to set it up.  One 
of the neat things about it is that it runs on non-Windows platforms, 
such as Linux.

The WDSc debugger probably requires the same compile options, but I am 
not very familiar with it at this point.
