I asked. We are using the most ancient emulator that exists on the planet.

When I try to put in more than one option for DEBUG I get this.

1 Ctl-Opt Debug (*Yes:*NoDebugIo);
======> aaaaaaaaaa
*RNF1002 20 a 000200 The parameter for keyword DEBUG is not valid.

But having just *Yes works.

You should have seen the response when I told people about the fact that H, F, & D specs could be free format. Another time I was told not to code free format - this was NINE years ago - as the other programmers that might have to support the code would not be able to understand it. Hey we have programs in RPG-III.

Personally I never have actually programmed in RPG-III. And I started RPG-IV in 2002.

Say hello to Susan:-)

No? Have you asked?

Not being rude but most of the people I have met who say this have not even asked to use the new tools. There are free/cheap alternatives too.

If there is pushback ask if the Windows developers are forced to use Notepad for .Net development?

I am at this.

Ignoring the SEU warnings I am getting a clean compile. But how do I
do *DEBUG? Took that out of the OPTIONS area.


Should not be using SEU at this late date. It does not know the free-format syntaxes. This is an example of the "H"-type specs you might need.


ctl-opt MAIN(AC04LKUR) AlwNull(*UsrCtl) DatFmt(*ISO) TimFmt(*ISO)
DftActGrp(*No) ActGrp(*Caller) BndDir('WSBNDDIR')
Debug Option(*SrcStmt:*NoDebugIo);


Sincerely,

Dave Clark
