Re: RDP Debug when STRDBG active

[Jeff Young <jyoung0950@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kurt,
AFIK, using RDP debug, under the covers, it issues a STRSRVJOB on the job,
then a STRDBG on the program.
If DEBUG is already active on the job, the STRDBG fails.

I do not use the RDP debugger, so am not sure if it issues an error when
you try this or just handles it and does nothing.
