RE: Strange acting program in debug

Hi Richard,

1) Optimization? What does it show on the DSPPGM? CHGPGM OPTIMIZE(*NONE), signoff & on & try again.
2) Another (older) copy of the program in the library list ahead of where you think it is.
3) Mismatch between source and object. Are you compiling DBGVIEW(*ALL) or *SOURCE or is that hidden behind the CRTSQLRPGI? Again DSPPGM I think should show it, or perhaps in the ILE debugger F14 to see.

Regards,

Kevin Wright

Subject: Strange acting program in debug


So, I have this large (20k + lines) program that has me
perplexed.  I made some minor changes to a subroutine.  When
testing, it did not perform as desired, so I put in debug.  
This is where it gets very strange....The subroutine builds
an SQL statement.  Then, as I step through in debug, the next
statement is an SQL prepare - but instead the program goes to
a subroutine that isn't even referenced in the subroutine
from which it came.  It then goes through a few lines and
oddly returns to the subroutine where it began (although not
where it left off).  My initial thought was source/object
mis-match so I recompiled, signed off & on and tried again,
only to have the same result.

I have consulted with 4 programmers in house but we are all
stumped.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Any
suggestion/ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Warmest Regards,
Richard Reeve
