Re: Newbie: debug a program running in batch

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was no recompile between the two calls to PGMA.  I set the SEP before
I started the job that called PGMA.  As evidenced by the fact that the
debugger "caught" the first call, the library list and user ID were
correct.  I am using RDi 9.5.0.3.

It took me 5 minutes to use the green-screen debugger and find the problem
in my source code.
