Re: Debugging.

Dave,

You should be able to debug ILE applications using service entry point. It 
is a neat feature provided by WDSC debugger, and It is actually quite 
straight forward to use.

In Remote System Explorer, right click on a program or service program, 
and choose Debug (Service Entry) -> Service Entry Point to set a service 
entry point on this program.
Then just run the program the usually way.  A debug session will come up 
and this program is under debug. 

If you re-compile your program, you just need to right click on this 
service entry point in the Service Entry Point view (this view will be 
open automatically when you set a SEP), and choose Refresh.

[WDSCI-L] Debugging.






I am now to the point of attempting to tackle debugging in WDSC. All of
the instructions I read were very confusing. I called IBM to get some
help there - and was led to Help/Cheat Sheets. Unfortunately, the cheat
sheet titled, "Debugging a 5250 RPG or Cobol application" was out of
date, and the instructions didn't match WDSC menus, etc.

I called back, and we started playing with WDSC, not making much headway
when the IBM'r said that he preferred using the Graphical Debug
interface. He led me through iSeries Navigator to this completely
different debugging method.

I would like to use whatever is the "best" debugger available to me. 

What do you use, and why do you consider it better than the alternative.
And, what's the best way to learn it?

Thank you,

Dave
