Re: RDP Debug error

[Buck Calabro <kc2hiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use the debugger quite a lot both for RPG (at work) and for Java and C 
(at home).  The Run and Debug icons and menu at the top are not for RPG; 
they are for Java, C and the like.  The Run menu comes to RDP because it 
tags along with the basic Eclipse functionality.

For RPG, you want the SEP debugger which is a context menu choice in the 
RSE view.  Instead of double-clicking on a program to open it, right 
click, Debug (Service Entry) and set a Service Entry Point.

Alternatively, you could show the IBMi Service Entry Points view, right 
click in it and Set a SEP from there.
