Re: Debugging program with multiple users

Darn it! The fold at IBM were supposed to have fixed that and made the source available there.

I can see a version of it on my system - I'll have to check with Paul Tuohy to make sure that is the current version. Once I've done that I'll upload it somewhere.

You already have the SEP information needed to debug - but have you taken steps to obtain the screen image _and_ dump when the program crashes?

The IBM Redpiece on Error Handling includes this kind of information - see http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4321.html

It includes a simple routine that will grab the screen for you - I have found it is often easier to debug if you can "see" what the screen content was at the time of the error.

Gary,

When I run the program all works correctly. I need to know how the
other users are using the program to determine the solution that is
why the need for debug. This is a interactive job and at any point
the program may be used or it may not be used at all today.

I may have to do the pick a user and wait it out.

I am guessing you want to debug via Service Entry Point.

I am guessing the program you want to debug runs in a batch process
(otherwise you would want to prepare the user in advance ?)

Any chance you can run the required job ?

Otherwise, that's a tough one, just have to "pick and wait" ?

How can I debug a program that multiple users (Over 50) have access
without knowing the user ID?

Thanks!
Bryan
