Starting the ILE Source Debugger

If the default values for either create command have been changed, explicitly specify DBGVIEW(*STMT) and OUTPUT(*PRINT).

addition, you can initially ad

service program objects to a debug session by

using

the

The rules

for

debugging

a

service

program are the same

as those

for

debugging

a

program:

¹ The program or service program must have debug data.

¹You must have *CHANGE authority to a program or service program objec include it in a debug session.

For

debugger

if

the

following

conditions

are

met:

1.The OPM program was compiled with OPTION(*LSTDBG) or OPTION(*SRCDBG). (Three OPM languages are supported: RPG, COBOL, and CL. RPG and COBOL programs can be compiled with *LSTDBG or

*SRCDBG, but CL programs must be compiled with *SRCDBG.

2. The		ILE debug	environment	is set to		accept	OPM programs. You can d
by		specifying	OPMSRC(*YES) on	the	STRDBG command.		(The	system	default
is	OPMSRC(*NO).)
If these two conditions are				not	met,	then you	must	debug	the OPM pro
the	OPM	system debugger.

If an OPM program compiled without *LSTDBG or *SRCDBG is specified and a service program is specified, the service program is shown if it has there is no debug data, then the DSPMODSRC screen will be empty. If program and a service program are specified, then the ILE program wil
