Re: No debug view visible

[Dave <dfx1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

The signing on and off did not work. But I see that I am indeed a sinner,
so I shall try tomorrow morning by not forcing the service program to
activate in the DAG.
I still don't understand why I don't see the source of the main module of
the RPG programme but I do have memories of strange things happening whilst
mixing OPM and ILE.

Dave,

You created an ILE bound program with ACTGRP(*CALLER), without using
DFTACTGRP(*YES) (only available on CRTBNDRPG or CRTBNDCL), so most likely
you now have an older copy of the *PGM that is "activated" in the
*DFTACTGRP, so that when you tried to debug it, you are debugging the "old"
(activated) copy.  :-/

You can work around this problem by issuing:

   RRTJOB RTGDTA(QCMDI)

to start a new "job step" thus clearing out any activation groups, without
disturbing your *LIBL, etc.

(or just sign off and sign-on again).

Then try your STRDBG again.

I suggest reading Jon Paris' and Susan Gantner's article on "The Seven
Deadly Sins of ILE" ... see:

See also:

(Even IBM now recommends Jon and Susan's article!) :-)

HTH,

Mark S. Waterbury
