IBM AS/400 Creating a Program for Source Debugging, Using the CRTBNDRPG Command, Considerations

Using the CRTBNDRPG Command

Table	5 (Page 2 of 2). CRTBNDRPG Parameters and Their Default Values Grouped by Function
	ALWNULL(*NO)	Determines	if the program will	accept	values from	null-capabl
		fields
	FIXNBR(*NONE)	Determines	which decimal data	that is	not valid	is to be
		the compiler
Run-Time	Considerations
	DFTACTGRP(*YES)	Identifies whether this program always runs in				the OPM de
		activation	group
	OPTION(*DEBUGIO)	*DEBUGIO/*NODEBUGIO, determines if breakpoints are				gener-
		ated for input and output specifications
	ACTGRP(QILE)	Identifies the activation group in which the				program should
	SRTSEQ(*HEX)	Specifies	the sort sequence table to be used
	LANGID(*JOBRUN)	Used with SRTSEQ to specify the language identifier for s
		sequence
	TRUNCNBR(*YES)	Specifies	the action to take when numeric overflow occurs
		packed-decimal, zoned-decimal, and binary fields in fixed-fo
		operations.

See	Appendix C, “The Create Commands” on page 405 for the syntax diagra
and	parameter descriptions of CRTBNDRPG.

Creating a Program for Source Debugging

In this example you create the program EMPRPT so that you can debug the source debugger. The DBGVIEW parameter on either CRTBNDRPG or

CRTRPGMOD determines what type of debug	data	is	created during comp
The parameter provides six options which	allow	you	to select which v
want:

¹*STMT — allows you to display variables and set breakpoints at stat

locations using a compiler listing. No source is displayed with this

¹	*SOURCE		— creates		a view identical to your input source.
¹ *COPY		—	creates	a	source	view	and	a	view containing the source o
	/COPY	members.
¹	*LIST	—	creates	a	view similar		to	the	compiler listing.
¹	*ALL —		creates	all	of the	above views.

¹*NONE — no debug data is created.

The source for EMPRPT is shown in Figure 28 on page 54.

1. To create the object type:

CRTBNDRPG PGM(MYLIB/EMPRPT) DBGVIEW(*SOURCE) DFTACTGRP(*NO)

The program will be created						in the library MYLIB with the same
source		member		on which	it is	based, namely, EMPRPT. Note that by
will	run	in	the	default	named	activation group, QILE. This program o
be	debugged			using a	source	view.
2. To	debug		the	program	type:

STRDBG EMPRPT
