Re: Debug does not end program using Terminate.

Jason,

Using RDI to debug is sort of like Start Service Job, STRSRVJOB. When you say end service job. The program continues to run.

I always kill the job I am debugging, if I want it to actually stop it from continuing to run until End of job.

Think of the "Stop" button as saying "Stopping spying on this service job, and continue to run". :)


PS. You could associate your debug session to green screen, and then it would work like Green-Screen. But, that is absolute pain, so I never do it that way...

OK so I thought that using the Terminate button would end the debug session and also end the program. This is how it worked on the 5250 debugger using F3. Not so on RDi. I hit terminate and the program keeps right on trucking along. How do I end the debug session and also kill the program that I'm debugging?

It's so WEIRD I've never noticed this before.


Thanks,
