Re: question on "run interactive application" andRSESVR...

From: Wilt, Charles

One issue with that idea is that we've got a menuing system that does some
front end work.

Another issue is that the one thing I'm often checking is the parameter
passing between two program.
Unfortunately, our application passes data structures with multiple
subfields instead of individual
parameters. So if PGMA calls PGMB, and I'm interested in PGMB, I'd
probably have to wrap PGMA, and go
in and figure out what was passed into it.

You might recall that the application I work with is OPM RPG generated
from CA Plex.

So I find it easiest to simply to a Debug(prompt) -->Interactive. And on
the How to start, I enter
the command that takes me to the first menu. I can move through the
menus/programs and start the
program I'm interested in.

I think my command might work for you. Whatever command you were running in
the How to Start, you enter as the parameter for the ILEEXC command. Put
the SEP on ILEEXCR, and then walk down through. You might have to set a
breakpoint in order to pass through the QCMDEXC layer, I haven't tried it
yet.

It's a thought.

Having said all that, we're on an older version of Plex, something like 3
releases behind and are in
the process of upgrading. The newer version of Plex generate RPGIV, so
I'm be able to use SEPs by the
end of the month <Horary!>.

And then you won't need ILEEXC at all <grin>.
