  Little reason to remain beholden to only one means of debugging when 
a difficulty is encountered [with the preferred or chosen method].  Some 
other options to investigate the value of the CL variable include:

  • Dump CL Program (DMPCLPGM); DSPSPLF QPPGMDMP SPLNBR(*LAST)
  • Use a 5250 debug feature; STRDBG, ADDTRC, DSPPGMVAR, etc.
  • Logging; e.g. SNDPGMMSG, SNDJRNE, etc.
