There is a graphical debugger that does not need RDP. It is part of the JT400 stuff. It does use the debug server on IBM i, but I believe that is always there.
And it is free!
It is documented, I think, in InfoCenter and might be called the System Debugger - here is a link to the 7.1 documentation -

Paul,
I want to debug in RDP in the GUI (and stop using STRDBG from 5250).
Thank you, I have been reading about the cost of 5722WDS on V6/V7,
so your alternative sounds like a life-saver.
So, I'm off to "Set Service Entry Point"

I right click on the member/object in the RSE list and select Debug (Service Entry) > Set Service Entry Point This allows me to debug in RDP in the GUI.
I believe what you are attempting to do will debug in a 5250 session. Is that your desired outcome?

Attempting to start Debug from RDP 8.0.3
From a 5250 session: I start the debugger server using STRDBGSVR
In LPEX editor I set breakpoints
From Remote Systems view I right-click the program object,
and select Debug As > Interactive
I get a dialog window:
No interactive job associated with this connection.
From a 5250 session: I enter STRRSESVR NAME(myConnection)
This raises error CPD0160 - Program QRSEMAIN not found in library QDEVTOOLS
I see in Midrange archives that we need: 5722WDS (Option 50, Feature 5050)
Is there anything else I should ask my operations manager to install ?
