RE: Can not get breakpoints set in RSE source to work

Hi Dave,

I've had this happen and bare with me because I don't know all the exact
language to use to tell you how to fix it.  This has happened to me when
I've started up debug mode more then once.  It's like the break points are
in one thread, an earlier one that has finished running and the program is
actually running in another thread.  Check to see if you've got more then
one thread in the Debug view of the Debug perspective.

I know this is very vague but I hope it helps.

John.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Can not get breakpoints set in RSE source to work

I have been having a hard time figuring out how/where to set breakpoints to 
debug a program.

I was setting break points in the source module in the RSE perspective, 
then trying to debug the program object interactively going through the 
debug menu.  When I selected Resume in the Debug perspective, I assumed 
that the program would run to the first break point I had set.  Instead, 
the program runs to completion without stopping at any break points.

What I discovered is that the Debug perspective brings up the program to be 
debugged in a separate pgm.listing view.  When I set the break points in 
this listing view, the debugger stops at the break points as expected. None 
of the breakpoints set in the RSE source view were transferred to this 
pgm.listing view.

What is the purpose of setting the break points in the RSE perspective view 
of the source if they are not recognized by the debugger?  Am I missing 
something?  I spent quite a while figuring out how to get any break points 
to work.  It was very frustrating.

I am using WDSCi 5.1.2.1 and V5R3

Thanks.
