Before you can use the source debugger, you must select a debug create a module object or program object using CRTRPGMOD or CRTBNDRPG. After starting the debugger you can set breakpoints and then call the

When a program stops because of a breakpoint or a step command, the module object's view is shown on the display at the point where the stopped. At this point you can perform other actions such as displayin field values.

Note: If your program has been optimized, you can still display field values may not be reliable. To ensure that the content of field structures contain their correct (current) values, specify the NOO keyword on the appropriate Definition specification. To change the tion level, see “Changing the Optimization Level” on page 87.

DISPLAY Allows you to display the names and definitions assigned by usi EQUATE command. It also allows you to display a different sourc module than the one currently shown on the Display Module Source display. The module object must exist in the current program o
