Re: RDi Error Message -- WDSCI-L

In our RDi classes we include OPM programs in the debug session.

RDi can debug OPM just fine _but_ because it uses the SEP approach the OPM cannot be the first program in the sequence.

Just simply create an ILE program that does nothing more that call the OPM and then set that one to debug and step into the OPM. Easy.

I know a couple of people who wrote a simple ILE program that took the OPM program name as a parm so that you only need a single shell program - not one for each OPM source you need to debug.

Hi Doug

I looked in RDI settings (9.6 version) and do not see the option to debug OPM source - debugging in RDi does use SEP (service entry point) breakpoints, I don't remember if those can be used only with ILE programs.

The STRDBG command does have an option for OPM source (OPMSRC) - in the OS, this lets your program be called by an ILE program and still be debugged, or the program itself can be called for debugging.

The OPMSRC option does not seem to be available in RDi - the STRDBG option for updating production data is there - so for now, unless someone knows differently, you will need to do the debugging in an emulator session.

This sounds like an opportunity to submit and RFE.

Ken,

Understood, however it is not mine to convert and I was hoping to find a way to get it done as an OPM. I think I will have him try Craig's suggestion.

The one thing I'm still not clear on is why he could debug it in GS and not RDi. Maybe he had a copy in his library list that he did not transfer over to RDi?

Doug,

I believe that RDI cannot debug 27+ year old OPM/RPG-III/RPG-400.
Just convert it to RPGLE, recompile and then try debug again. That should work.
RDI cannot debug RPG-II either, that is over 40 years. That was before my time. :P

I do it all the time with CLP, I change the type to CLLE, recompile, and then I can debug in RDI!

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Error Message

All,

Had a co-worker just start using RDi and debug and he came up with an error message I don't understand:

"Server: CPF9584 OPM program P5547052 cannot be added to ILE debug environment. Program P5547052 in library WRDTST cannot be added to the ILE debug environment because it does not contain OPM source debug data."

Firstly it is not an ILE program, so why did it try and debug it under ILE? Secondly, he told me it was compiled with Debug source data, so why did RDi tell him it had none. Lastly, he was able to go to a GS session and debug it with STRDBG.

I had him go through the steps that I take with debugging an OPM, i.e. use the Debug Configuration, point it to my active jobs, apply and debug. I checked and it is an OPM with all observable information. Not sure what to check next.
