Re: Strange acting program in debug

Thank you all for you responses.  DBGVIEW(*NONE) COMPILEOPT('DBGVIEW(*LIST)')  was just what the Doctor ordered!
 
Thanks again.

Warmest Regards,

Richard Reeve

Yes.  DBGVIEW(*NONE) COMPILEOPT('DBGVIEW(*LIST)')

I know it looks weird. . . but give it a go.  You'll not be sorry.

Actually, (at least at V5R3) you cannot do that, directly.  Not sure
which
OS level Richard is using, but at V5R3, here's what I do, using PDM:

14 next to member to be compiled
On command line, type:
DBGVIEW(*NONE) COMPILEOPT('DBGVIEW(*LIST)')

(you could put "*ALL" there, I suppose.)

Press ENTER.  Voila!

(Which reminds me... anyone heard from David Foxwell lately?!?!)

Richard:

Try specifying DBGVIEW(*ALL) on your compile command and I think you
will find it will work much better.

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.
