Re: How to display which debug views are available.

Eezee-peezee!

DMPOBJ will show you the action content of a *PGM object as a spooled file, and the debug views are listed there - and if you've select *LISTING or *LSTDBG, the actual listing is in there. searching for "VIEW" should get you close, IIRC. But you might need to search on parts of the word, since the data wraps and the word might be split between lines.

You do need authority to do this - I don't have that authority where I now work, maybe it was removed from regular programmer dweebs or it's just not available at our special authority setting. No big deal.

Brian is correct.  I'm trying to find if the object itself has an indication of the available debug views without entering debug. So far I haven't found on Google nor the IBM site indicating if this is possible.  I was hoping that someone on this list may know of a way.

Thanks,

Rob

Indeed. But Rob's original question was how to find this out _without_ initiating a debug session in RDi or STRDBG. Any ideas?

Enter debug and press F15. It will show a list of the view available.

I think Paul is suggesting the use of the DSPPGM command. Press ENTER until the *MODULE detail panel is displayed, then type option 5).
against the Module(s).

However, this shows only,
Debug data . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *YES

- and doesn't answer Rob's question. How to tell WHICH debug views, (*LISTING, SOURCE, etc.) are available. DSPPGM does not provide this information, as Rob has already discovered.

I've no idea how you would find this out without initiating a debug session in RDi or STRDBG. The System APIs don't appear to help either.

Hi all,

Can I tell from an object which is already created which debug views
are available?

I understand that when creating an object you may specify which debug
views (*LISTING, *SOURCE, *COPY) you wish to make available. But if
the object (in my case a program) has already been created how do I
tell which views are available.  I've tried dsppgm but I don't see any
view information.  The only way I've found is through starting debug
on the program and pressing F15=Select view .

Thanks,

Rob
