RE: Strange acting program in debug

This is almost always a library list problem.

To make absolutely sure you are not messing with a source/object mismatch,
be sure to use LIST debugging view, not SOURCE. Put another way: there can
be no question of mismatch when using LIST debug view. Do this even if you
know that you know that you know you are running the "correct" version.

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
