Re: Debug a CL program

I have debugged batch OPM CBL or CL jobs by jumping into the job, but in
order to do that I have had to set up a couple of things....

1. The source needed to be compiled with OPTION(*SRCDBG). If compiling
from RDI it is set by default, but in our environment if compiled from
PDM(other programmers that don't use RDI :(. ), that is not set by
default. So I usually end up compiling it myself thru RDI to make sure
that setting is correct.
2. Make sure the Source is in the same location that you compiled from so
the debugger finds it, unless you have the source in the object.
3. Who ever is running the job you need *Use authority to that user
account. I my self needed *Service control also. (Don't ask me any
questions about this just something I told my administrator).
4. Then I usually do Debug(Prompt)-IBM i job, and as long as you get that
setup before the job hits the program you want to debug, it should come up
in RDI. Sometimes I will have them hold the JOBQ so I have time to get
this setup, then they release the JOBQ when I am ready.

This is how I have done it, if anyone else has any easier ways or more
comments would like to hear them.......


Thanks,
Jeff

Can debug a running CL by doing a "Debug As"=>"IBM I job" on the job
itself?

Stupid Question:

Can I use RDi to debug a non-ILE CL program?

If so, how do I go about doing that?
