+1

I use SEPs in GrScr debugging a lot, and I had put a "18 easy steps"
post in these lists some time ago - it's now in the wiki on this page -

along some other ILE debugging stuff.

Even in the green-screen STRDBG, you can use a SEP. It's much more
clumsy/cumbersome than doing a SEP via RDi, but if RDi isn't
available, it's still an easy way to make sure you find the right
STRSRVJOB to run.

As for why the STRSRVJOB isn't working -- my guess is that the program
is just never hitting the breakpoint that was set. i.e., it's not
doing what you expect :-)

The problem is I need to run it in debug to check some values that
are calculated during run time, but even using STRSRVJOB doesn't
seem to be working.

If you have RDi available, I would suggest using a service entry
point debug.
