Re: Debugging RPG400 code

Jon,

One more thing I want to mention here is that you could distingish between 
a breakpoint which has been installed to a program from just a breakpoint 
marker.
If a breakpoint has not been installed to a program, it is just a solid 
blue dot.
If a breakpoint has been installed to a program, it is a solid blue dot 
with a checkmark (looks like a dot with little tail).

Re: [WDSCI-L] Debugging RPG400 code






Jon,

That is correct.

Breakpoints are remembered by the source file (They are markers in the 
eclipse file).  But in order to install it into the program, we need the 
program information (library name, program name and type), since iSeries 
does not have program/service program loading event. 
Since you start your debug session with a different program, the debugger 
did not have the program information for the breakpoint.

One way you could overcome this behaviour is to start your debug session 
wtih multiple programs and service programs.  To do that, you could select 

multiple programs and service programs in the RSE, and choose Debug 
(prompt) and one of the choices.

[WDSCI-L] Debugging RPG400 code






Anyone have any experience using RPG400 code with the debugger?

It is "remembering" the break points I set in the program - but doesn't 
seem
to action them unless I first step-into it from an RPG IV program - after 
that
it seems to remember and will break just fine.

Anyone else seen this?
