Re: AW: How do you debug CGIDEV2 programs

Hi Dave

I suspect that the limitations of STRSRVJOB are what you have to face. 
I've not tested this kind of thing. Others will likely know.

And STRDBG itself may have some limitations - I believe you need some 
*SERVICE special authority to use STRDBG at all - but that is from very 
dim memory just before I go home!

There are ways to get more authority - some program that'd give you that 
- but that has to be monitored stringently in any production house, right?

Some of the system users might not be an issue - such as QTMHHTP1 for 
CGI jobs. But that is a matter of policy in your shop.

Good luck!
