  • Use the Full-Screen Debugger with OPM Programs

    November 6, 2002 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Hey, Ted:

    Can I debug RPG III (also known as RPG/400) programs using the Start Debug (STRDBG) command instead of the Start Interactive Source Debugger (STRISDB) command?

    — Robert

    Yes, and I recommend you do so. I have not used ISDB in years. If anyone out there prefers ISDB to the system debugger, please let me know why .

    When you compile the RPG program, specify OPTION(*SRCDBG) on the Create RPG Program (CRTRPGPGM) command.

    When you’re ready to debug, specify OPMSRC(*YES) on the STRDBG command.

    This also works for OPM COBOL and CL programs. Specify OPTION(*SRCDBG) on the Create a Cobol Program (CRTCBLPGM) and Create Control Language Program (CRTCLPGM) commands. You can use OPTION(*LSTDBG) when compiling with CRTRPGPGM, CRTCLPGM, CRTCBLPGM, Create SQL RPG Program (CRTSQLRPG), Create SQL COBOL Program (CRTSQLCBL), and Create Auto Report RPG Program (CRTRPTPGM) commands.
