Re: How to debug web service RPGLE program

Service Entry Points are available in all of:

 - Green Screen Debugger

 - System Debugger (which you were just telling us about)

 - RDi debugger


Sadly, VS Code does not (yet) have support for SEPs.  Personally I find the System Debugger so buggy that it isn't usable, and I find RDi slow and cumbersome.  So I typically use the green-screen debugger.  I use SEPs almost every day, and they've been around for ages.   I find it odd that soooo many people in this conversation don't know about them.

The System Debugger is integrated in iACS and completely independent from RDi - with this you can remotely debug any job.

I don't know if the "service entry point" debugging is RDi exclusive, but I didn't find it anywhere else until now.

I have a web service & I need to be able to put the job into debug.

I remember that RDi could put a put a like on a program such that when a
job calls it that job is put into remote debug. I don't have RDi. ☹

Is there a way I can do it without RDi. Maybe VScode?
