Re: RDP 8.5 and Service Entry points - reset of a program/debug

Paul,

One other thing you could check: in 'Preferences', 'Run/Debug', and 'IBM i
Debug'. Is 'Terminate debug session on program completion' checked? I
seem to recall having problems where the program would complete, but the
debug session would remain active. Then it wouldn't start the debugger
after recompiling and refreshing the SEP.

Just a thought . . .

[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?
