RE: batch job debugging

["Venkat Sreenivasan" <vsreeniv@xxxxxxxx>]

I have coded a simple batch debugging tool, which I regularly use.  Why not try
this.  I'm attaching the command and a CL program.  It is easy to set it up.

Program: BTCHDBG (CLP)

             PGM        PARM(&PARM1 &PARM2 &PARM3 &PARM4)

             DCL        VAR(&PARM1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(512)
             DCL        VAR(&PARM2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3)
             DCL        VAR(&PARM3) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(512)
             DCL        VAR(&PARM4) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&JOBATR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
             DCL        VAR(&RQSTDTA) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3000)
             DCL        VAR(&CALL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(25) VALUE('CALL +
                          ITAPVS/BTCHDBG PARM(')
             DCL        VAR(&CALL1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(')')
             DCL        VAR(&QUOTE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(X'7D')
             DCL        VAR(&USERID) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&RETRY) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(3 0) VALUE(0)
             DCL        VAR(&TIME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
             DCL        VAR(&JOBNAME) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

             RTVSYSVAL  SYSVAL(QTIME) RTNVAR(&TIME)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&JOBNAME) VALUE('DBG' || &TIME)
             RTVJOBA    USER(&USERID) TYPE(&JOBATR)

             IF         COND(&JOBATR *EQ '1') THEN(DO)

             STRSRVJOB  JOB(&JOBNAME) DUPJOBOPT(*MSG)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF3536 CPF3520) EXEC(DO)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&RQSTDTA) VALUE(&CALL || &QUOTE || +
                          &PARM1 || &QUOTE || ' ' || &QUOTE || +
                          &PARM2 || &QUOTE || ' ' || &QUOTE || +
                          &PARM3 || &QUOTE || ' ' || &QUOTE || +
                          &PARM4 || &QUOTE || &CALL1)
             SBMJOB     JOB(&JOBNAME) JOBQ(&PARM4) RQSDTA(&RQSTDTA) +
                          LOG(*JOBD *JOBD *MSG) LOGCLPGM(*YES)

             IF         COND(&PARM3 *NE ' ') THEN(DO)
 RETRY:      CHGVAR     VAR(&RETRY) VALUE(&RETRY + 1)
             STRSRVJOB  JOB(&JOBNAME) DUPJOBOPT(*MSG)
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF3536) EXEC(DO)

             IF         COND(&RETRY *EQ 10) THEN(DO)
             SNDMSG     MSG('The job ' || &JOBNAME *TCAT ' is +
                          not active to perform the STRSRVJOB and +

                          the debug command.  Perform the required +
                          command manually.') TOUSR(&USERID)
             GOTO       CMDLBL(ENDPGM)
             ENDDO

             GOTO       CMDLBL(RETRY)
             ENDDO

             CALL       PGM(QCMDEXC) PARM(&PARM3 512)
             ENDDO

             SNDMSG     MSG('The job ' || &JOBNAME *TCAT ' is in +
                          debug mode.  Once the job is completed +
                          end debug and the ENDSRVJOB manually.') +
                          TOUSR(&USERID)
             GOTO       CMDLBL(ENDPGM)
             ENDDO

             SNDMSG     MSG('The job ' || &JOBNAME *TCAT ' +
                          exists more than once in the system.  +
                          Kindly cancel the jobs and the +
                           corresponding output and retry the +
                           command again.') TOUSR(&USERID)
              GOTO       CMDLBL(ENDPGM)
              ENDDO

              IF         COND(&PARM3 *NE ' ') +
                         THEN(DLYJOB DLY(&PARM2))

              CALL       PGM(QCMDEXC) PARM(&PARM1 512)

  ENDPGM:     ENDPGM

Command: BTCHDBGCMD (CMD)

             CMD        PROMPT('Job to Run')

             PARM       KWD(CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(512) MIN(1) +
                          PROMPT('Program to submit')

             PARM       KWD(DLY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(3) DFT(120) +
                          PROMPT('Enter delay time in *SECS')

             PARM       KWD(DBG) TYPE(*CMDSTR) LEN(512) MIN(1) +
                          PROMPT('Enter debug command')

             PARM       KWD(JOBQ) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) DFT(QBATCH) +
                          PROMPT('Enter job queue')

Since I can have only one Command String in the program to submit I've defined
as a char string
of 512 bytes, and the debug parameter as 512 bytes which is the 3rd parameter.
Under the third parameter
you use STRDBG command.

Thanks

madhusudhan

batch debug is cool,

1. hold the job queue.
2. sbmjob
3. Note the job details.
4. Strsrvjob
5. strdbg
6. Release the jobq
7. dspmodsrc
6. Add a break point.
7. Then its all yours.
and at the end dont forget to give a
8. Enddbg
9. Endsrvjob.


Hope this helps.

Thanks in advance.
