Hi, everyone,

I suspect most of us here are familiar with setting service job breaks for batch jobs that need to be debugged.
One thing that has always annoyed me is the inability to set this type of break in a CL program that happens to be the controlling program of a procedural process that needs this debugging technique.
When trying to set up the service job break, using SBREAK in the CL program initially results in a syntax error.
But when an RPGLE program that gets called by the CL program is instead set up with the initial SBREAK,
I am allowed to add the CL OPM program to the debugged program list and set further SBREAKs in the calling CL program.

Seems like the debugging process is capable of setting SBREAKS in CL OPM programs, so why is it disallowed when the CL OPM is the original program?
Is it that further SBREAKs aren't really service breaks, just normal breaks since the job is already being serviced?

Just a curiosity that I wonder if anyone can explain well.

Thanks,

Tom Garvey
