I have the same issue. Xuan's "clear all" option works for me when I need it, but these days I just remove the SEP before I change the source and recompile, and then re-add the SEP afterwards. That doesn't always work, so I revert to Xuan's suggested method after the SEP fails to stop the program.
I guess that the SEP is triggered using some kind of program ID that changes after a recompile (MD5 signature?) and maybe RDP can't forget the original program ID if the SEP is not removed before the ID changes. (Pure speculation.)

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDP 8.5 and Service Entry points - reset of a program/debug
How do you get RDP Service Entry points to reset/restart once a program has been recompiled?
I have had a gnawing issue for a while...
1. Set a service entry point on a program
2. Run the program
3. Debug in RDP thanks to the service entry point until logic error is determined
4. Find code that needs to be changed and fix it.
5. Recompile the program
6. Refresh the service entry point (or even delete the service entry point and reset it)
7. Run the newly compiled version of the program
8. However ... I no longer can get the RDP debugger to kick in on the service entry point.
In this scenario, the only way I have been able to get the service entry point debugging to work is exit RDP and restart.
There must be a better way.
Can anyone have any offer any tips for this?
