To create the program and start debugging it, using the source in Fig

CRTBNDRPG PGM(MYLIB/NOLOOP) DBGVIEW(*SOURCE)

STRDBG PGM(MYLIB/NOLOOP)

Set a break point on the BEGSR line of the *PSSR subroutine so you can through the *PSSR subroutine.

When you call the program, the following occurs:

1. An

exception

occurs

when the

program

tries

to do a MOVE operation

array

using

a

negative

index.

Control is passed to the *PSSR.

2. Since

this

is

the

first time through the *PSSR, the variable In_Pss

already

set

on.

To

prevent

a

future

loop,

the variable In_Pssr is

3. Processing

continues

within

the

*PSSR

with

the

MOVE

after the ELSE.

Aga

an

exception

occurs

and

so

processing

of the *PSSR

begins anew.

4. This

time

through,

the variable In_Pssr

is

already set to 1. Sinc

that

the

subroutine

is

in

a

loop,

the

procedure

is canceled by

s

ReturnPt

field

to

*CANCL.
