Re: Debug a running program

Chris,

Try the following:

Click on the drop down beside the Bug icon, and click on Debug ... to bring
up the launch configuration dialog.
Click on "iSeries : Debug job" on the left pane, and click on New to create
a launch instance for attaching to an iSeries Job.
Use the Browse... button to search for the interactive or batch job you
want to debug (you could input the filter information before click on the
Browse... button)
Don't specify any program in the table, and make sure the Step into
checkbox is checked.
Click on Debug button.  You will get a message asking you to start your
application in iSeries.  Then you could do you I/O operation in 5250 and
the debug session should be started.


Or you could use Service Entry Point feature to start the debugger.
Right click on the program/service program (or expand it, and go to the
module or procedure level and right click) you want to debug in RSE, and
choose Debug (Service Entry) -> Set Service Entry Point to set a SEP.
Call your program in your interactive 5250 session, or submit the batch
job.  When the program/module/procedure where you set you SEP to is loaded,
a debug session will be started.  You could then set breakpoint on the line
you are interested (right before or after the exfmt statement, etc).

Can anyone tell me how to debug a running interactive or batch program?  If
I have a program sitting on a exfmt or a error and try to start
iseries:debug job, it never starts.

Thanks

Chris Beck
