Re: debugging in WDSC -- WDSCI-L

Jonny;

It should hit the break point and stop, first time through, millionth time through. When the debugger acts flakey it can be that the program/job is not doing what you thought, your libl is messed up, a "replaced" service pgm is being called or something in the debugger/server connection went wonky.

1. Try selecting the *LISTING view (Right click in the Debug View - where you see the source)
2. Ensure your libl is correct and you are debugging the correct program(s)
3. Step through more/all of the program to ensure it is doing what you expect
4. Delete any *SRVPGMs in QRPLOBJ (*1)
5. If all else fails end the debug server (*2) and WDSC/RDI. Restart WDSC/RDI with the -clean option (*3) and then restart the debug server (*4)

Most of the time that the debugger acts flakey it is something that I've messed up, but I have had to bring it all down and backup a few times to fix the problem.

*1 - Careful with this it could cause problems, shouldn't matter in a development environment but YMMV.
*2 - Everyone uses the same debug server so make sure this is OK
*3 - "C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\eclipse.exe" -product com.ibm.etools.iseries.rdi.welcome.ide -clean
*4 - With a 6.1 server you must have some beefy authority (*ALLOBJ I believe) to start the debug server. I didn't track down the exact authority needed as THEY were never going to give it to me anyway.

I set a breakpoint in the called programfirst time it stops at the breakpoint and at the beginning of the program.
when i hit the breakpoint i do resume.
at the second call to the program in the same job it doesnt stop in the program like (STRDBG) does!
I saw that someone was asking the same question 2006 but there was no answer to question is to work this way or can you work around it?

Yes, just set a breakpoint.

Hi!

I have an issue with WDSC!

when i try to debug a program that called multiple times i just stops
at the breakpoint for the first call

The second and third call it doesnt stop!

(If you do it the old fashioned way with STRDBG ju can set a
breakpoint in program and it will stop there for every call of the
program!)

is this behavior possible with debugging in WDSC/RDI?
