Re: Debugging a Called RPG Program -- RPG400-L

Brian -

I need some clarification -
Are you trying to debug a submitted job?

If so, you'll need to use STRSRVJOB (you'll probably need to have the system administrator or security officer give you authority to this command) to service the batch job, then you can start debug on the program that is running in the batch job to debug it.

Hi All,

Can someone tell me if there is a way to debug a program when it is
called by a CL command?

We have a program that is executed by a CL program and passed a bunch of
parameters.  I want to debug this specific program, so I compiled the
program with debug (*ALL) and then started debug and added a few
breakpoints.

I then run the initial program, and enter the required data.  This
program in turn will set up the parameter list which then calls a CL
program.  This CL program sets up the batch job and then calls ANOTHER
CL program which calls my RPG program (is your head spinning yet? :-)).

It is this last program I would like to debug.  I know it can be done by
manually passing in all of the parameters (15 of them!), but is there an
easier way?

Thanks!

Brian.
