Re: Code Coverage

That sucks that it only works for batch programs. I was under the
impression that it would work for any program as long as you put in debug
with SEP.

Thanks Buck.
I was hoping to be able to use it for a very large interactive program.
I will try it with a batch program and see what I get.

for 9.0, it will be 3 - 6 months to get the RDi 9.1 license) and
noticed the item for Code Coverage.

Can someone point me to documentation on how / when to use this and
what the output will show?

There isn't much documentation yet. Edmund wrote that there's a
document in the works. For the moment, try this:

1) Create a filter for your *PGM objects
2) Right click one and select Code Coverage
3) The Code Coverage tool will create a Code Coverage configuration
for that program and do a SBMJOB to execute the code. When the
program finishes running, a Code Coverage Report view will open.

The key limitation here is that code coverage will only work for batch
programs - if the RPG program needs to display a screen, it will fall
over when it is submitted to batch.

If you're familiar with the way Eclipse debugs Java code, you'll find
this very similar.
