Re: Is there a tutorial on using the debugger in RDi?

Hi Michael

If you look at the documentation clips I cited, *SERVICE has nothing to 
do with authority to a profile, it's authority to the program being 
debugged.

I could be misreading that stuff, but I don't think so.

*SERVICE gives you STRSST access, trace capability, and ability to debug 
a program to which you have only *USE.

The combination of STRSRVJOB and STRDBG are so intrinsically mixed in 
our minds, that it might be easy to combine the authorization needs.
