Re: Could use some assistance with a debug in Batch w/dataq

Hi Rory

That sounds cool, likely works really well when you know the job you are debugging - whereas SEP breakpoints - set using SBREAK in a debug session - help when you don't know the job.

Your program could be useful in the secondary job where one has to STRSRVJOB and STRDBG with information that is displayed when a breakpoint is reached.

I ended up creating a command and CL program called STRSRVDBG (Start
Service Debug) - it's a combination of STRSRVJOB and STRDBG, but allowing
job/program selection. I will dig out the source if anyone wants it, but
it's pretty easy to write your own, and *very* useful if you need to do
lots of green screen batch program debugging...

Thanks Scott and everyone.

I used the sep in green for now and it was due to the program compile
issue.

Sorry to be so stupid last night :)

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

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

debug.
