IBM AS/400 manual Stepping Over Call Statements, STEP number-of-statements OVER

	Stepping Through	the	Program	Object
on the	debug command line, the next	five	statements		of	your program
run, then the program object is stopped			again	and	the	Display Module
display	is shown.

When a call statement to another program or procedure is encountered session, you can:

¹	Step	over	the	call	statement, or
¹	Step	into	the	call	statement.

A call statement for ILE RPG includes any of the following operations:

¹	CALL
¹	CALLB
¹	CALLP
¹	Any	operation where there	is	an	expression in the extended-factor
	the	expression contains a	call	to	a procedure.

If you choosestep overto the call statement, then you will stay inside th procedure. The call statement is processed as a single step and th to the next step after the call. Step over is the default step m

Stepping Over Call Statements

You can step over call statements by using:

¹ F10 (Step) on the Display Module Source display

¹The STEP OVER debug command

You can use F10 (Step) on the Display Module Source display to step statement in a debug session. If the call statement to be run is another program object, then pressing F10 (Step) will cause the called object to run to completion before the calling program object is sto

larly, if the call statement		is an EVAL operation where a procedure
expression, then	the complete	EVAL operation is performed, including th
the procedure,	before the	calling program or procedure is stopped

Alternately, you can use the STEP OVER debug command to step over a statement in a debug session. To use the STEP OVER debug command, ty

on the debug command line. Thenumbervariable-of-statementsis the number of statements that you want to run in the next step before processing If this variable is omitted, the default is 1.
