Re: Generate a list of every RPG statement executed in a job, in sequence of execution

The reason that tracing as such is not implemented in RDi probably has a lot to do with the fact that tracing was not really implemented in ILE. Check out STRDBG and you'll see the trace parameters are available for OPM only.

There used to be a utility that could do statement tracing based on the debug APIs - but it seems to have disappeared into the ether with the demise of the iProDeveloper web site.

Dan,

You might was try the command: Start Trace (STRTRC). But, I don't recommend it... <smirk>
Not available in RDI, they left that out for some strange reason. I assume it has a high overhead usage. My guess... :(

Using RDI, I often use "add breakpoint watch" to watch when a variable changes. And I often edit a break-point to break "When" a condition happens. For instance when my "counter" goes over 100. That is if I am using a counter variable.

ON the edit break-point, you can also put a frequency on the break point. Which is maybe why they did NOT put in the start-trace. With all those great debugging tools in RDI, I really don't need the trace. It was an absolute pain to me anyway! <grin>

Oh well, I hope you find this info helpful.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Generate a list of every RPG statement executed in a job, in sequence of execution

(cross-posted to WDSC-L, RPG400-L)

I was banging my head trying to debug a program yesterday. Stepping through the RDi debugger was slow and tedious.

Is there something in RDi or some other system command that will generate a list of every RPG statement executed in a job, in sequence of execution? I think I understand that code coverage will show a summary of this; line
100.00 executed 20 times, line 101.00 executed 5 times, etc. But I'm looking for

0435.00 Dou %eof( CA8555RwL1);
0436.00 Reade #142AcctID CA8555RwL1;
0437.00 If not %eof( CA8555RwL1);
0438.00 y += 1;
0439.00 #142Pat(y) = w_su_PatID;
0440.00 #142Crg(y) = w_su_CrgID;
0442.00 If y = #maxCA0142Rparmarrayelements;
0446.00 Endif;
0447.00 Endif;
0448.00 Enddo;
0435.00 Dou %eof( CA8555RwL1);
0436.00 Reade #142AcctID CA8555RwL1;
0437.00 If not %eof( CA8555RwL1);
0438.00 y += 1;
0439.00 #142Pat(y) = w_su_PatID;
0440.00 #142Crg(y) = w_su_CrgID;
0442.00 If y = #maxCA0142Rparmarrayelements;
0443.00 Exsr Call_CA0142R_Update_CA8555RwL1;
0444.00 Clear CA0142Rout;
0445.00 y = 0;
0446.00 Endif;
0447.00 Endif;
0448.00 Enddo;

I'm looking for at least the source line numbers. Bonus if the code is included.
