Hi all,

I am wondering if it is possible to debug Java programs running on IBM I v7r1 using RDp 9.1.1.1 debugger (license "RPG and COBOL Tools")?

Recently I've tried to use RDP 9.1.1.1 debugger to debug a java method call invoked from RPG.
I set up a SEP on RPG code and then tried to step into a java method call. After issuing the step into command the debugger was unresponsive for a moment but finally showed a call stack, but it stepped into RPG procedure that was called from a java method. Java method calls I was intending to debug were shown in the call stack view so I clicked one method, but instead of source file the debugger displayed a window with the message "The selected stack frame is not debuggable".

I added the Java source directory to the Source Lookup Path so it is rater not the problem.
The java classes were compiled in eclipse with all the debug information in them (I've verified that with javap -v on IBM i) and I can debug the classes in eclipse (when run in eclipse runtime environment).
The JVM is started by RPG with the -debug flag.

The IBM i version is V7r1.

I also looked at the Graphical IBM i debugger documentation but it seems to be missing the SEP functionality which is quite important in my case because the processing is being done in a batch job.

Thanks,
Radek Pilski
