Brian -

Joel answered your question, but I'll repeat, in more detail:

1) hold the jobq that the submitted job goes to
2) submit the job
3) determine the Job name, user id, & job number of the submittted job
4) use STRSRVJOB to service the submitted job
5) Now STRDBG on the RPG program and set a break point
6) Release the job queue so the job will start running

Now, when the program running in batch reaches the break point, it will 
magically pop up in your interactive job, where you can then step thru the 
code..
