Re: Creating a dump for looping program.

["Carel Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can use STRISDB to debug the batch job (being an OPM programme). I think it 
is the last parm of the command that give you the oppertunity to *SELECT the 
job to debug.

Perhaps then you can set the value correctly.
