RPGLE debugging
Question:
I have been using STRISDB for years, we have recently converted to RPGLE but
STRISDB does not work any more. Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Answer(s):
Try compiling your RPGLE program with *ALL rather than the default *STMT,
then use the STRDBG command rather than STRISDB. It isn't as pretty as ISDB,
but it's 'visual' so it'll get you pretty much the same benefit
If you prefer a graphical interface instead of "green screen", there is
the cooperative debugger that is part of CODE/400 and VisualAge RPG.
See:

More info and Lotus Screencam demos are here:
http://www.software.ibm.com/ad/varpg/about.html
Use STRDBG. It handles both ILE, OPM and a combination of both.
Make sure that you compile your programs with the correct options on the
CRTBNDRPG command. I forget the keyword but the value to use is *LIST
(*SOURCE also works.)
On OPM programs you also need to set the correct debug view at compile time
and I think you need to use *SOURCE here.
And if you want STRDBG to debug OPM there is a keyword (the second from the
bottom I think) where you need to say *YES.
Compile the program with DBGVIEW as *Source and run STRDBG.
