Re: Does line actually execute in debug? -- RPG400-L

This is a good thing to check for - I'm mostly using the green debugger, and I may get a message at the start that the source has changed. Or when stepping through, I'll stop on a comment or unexpected line.

F15 lets me see what views I have - there's something similar in the RDi or the graphical debugger. If I take the list view (assuming I have it), then I will be able to step through to what is really there. BUT it is probably not what I want, right?

I compile with DBGVIEW(*ALL) or with OPTION(*LSTDBG) so that I have the listing always available.

Your have changed your source file.
Restart you session and check carefully*that you source file and PGM are
changed in the same time.
There is "Source file change date/time . . . " attribute on your pgm.

The debug processer does stop before the execution of the line. It does
execute, but the EXFMT doesn't occur. Think of the that line as short
cut for this:
If *IN99 = *On;
***EXFMT FORMATA;
EndIf;

The If is executed, but not the EXFMT.

Subject: Does line actually execute in debug?

Hello all,

I have a question. I'm running a program in debug and trying to figure
out
if a particular display format is being executed. I've set a
breakpoint
on the line and the program does stop there. However the actual
execution
of the line is dependent on an indicator like so:

99 EXFMT FORMATA

and the indicator is OFF at the time. I'm thinking that I'm correct in
saying that the debug processor stops before the execution of the actual
line. So technically if the indicator is off, this line is NOT getting
executed in any way. This program has several display formats that are
almost identical, and I check the open files directly after this
statement and it does not show this format being displayed.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Bill
