Re: Debug a CL program

Thanks Jeff/Dave – I got it to work.

It was a combination of the *SRCDBG option during compile and not “pressing play” in the debugger.

Now that I can do this, I will likely never do it again. WOW, what an exercise in futility. I have to monitor the variables I want to see? WHY on earth would anyone want to use the RDi debugger for this?

Surely IBM can do better than this.

No debug data sounds like your problem. Do you have source, or can you do a rtvclsrc on the program? If you can’t recompile with the debug data, you’re stuck, I think.

So here is what I'm doing.

1. Find my interactive job, right click and select Debug (prompt)
2. On the "What to debug" tab, click Add, then Enter the program object library and name - then click debug

I get the message window: "Use Step or Resume to continue your debug session and start your application on the server."
I also get a tab that opens with the title: "QT3REQIO.STATEMENT". Inside the tab, it says "No debug data available"

Could this be an issue with the way the source was compiled?

Second question.. Now, how do I STOP debugging the job?

I agree would like to get all our programs to ILE. I just compiled a CLP program in my library form RDI. Did a Debug(Prompt) IBM-i job on my Interactive SDS session, then called the CLP program from the command line and it came up in the RDI debugger. So not for sure why yours would not work? You are hitting the triangle green Play button in the debugge, before you let the job go or call it correct?

Those are the steps I took before posting this message. I'm the one calling the CLP. It did not come up in debug.

This is one of the things I dislike about RDi and debugging. It's awesome if you're dealing with SEPs and ILE programs. But with CL and OPM programs it's significantly more difficult than reverting to green screen debuggers.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] 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?
