Batch debug means debugging the program by putting job in
service by using STRSRVJOB command after that we debug the
program as usual.Once debug is done we need to end the
service job using ENDSRVJOB command.

please correct me if i made any wrong statement.

batch job means running job in background to save the time.so user are not able to make the interaction with batch job.suppose there in and issue occured or error occured in job of batch .now you have to find the error but how as that job is running in batch and we are not able to make intercation with that job in batch so what we do . we remotly access that batch job through strsrvjob command .when we remotly access that job than it will convert into interactive job .after making it interactive job we can debug that job and find the error.
i short we have to make batch job to interactive job for solving the error or to debug the program.

Using your interactive screen to debug a batch job submitted to the job queue allows you to put the batch job into debug mode and to set breakpoints without having to change the program to run interactively.

I have learnt through Net that Debugging a Batch job involves 1. Submit the job with the HOLD (*YES) parameter: SBMJOB HOLD(*YES) or Hold the job queue that before submitting the job by using the HLDJOBQ command. 2. Determine the job name, user, and number of the submitted job by using the WRKSBMJOB command. 3. Type the Start Service Job command on your screen: STRSRVJOB JOB(job name/user/number) 4. Type the Start Debug command on your screen: STRDBG 5. Release the job in the jobq. Type WRKSBMJOB and then put a 6 beside the job to be released and press enter, or, if the job queue was put on hold, release the job queue with the RLSJOBQ command. 6. A display appears when the job is ready to start, saying that you can now begin debugging the job. Press F10 to show the Command Entry display. 7. Now you can start debugging by entering an Add Break Point command: ADDBKP 8.ENDDBG 9.ENDSRVJOB I tried this for RPG/400 Program and up to six steps of the above it's ok,but for me no source is displayed and i typed DSPMODSRC in Command line but still i can't see the sourceif i press F.10 and enter command ADDBKP i don't know how to add break points through it,usually i add break points using F.6 for Interactive job debugs,but since this is batch i don't know sir,Please help me out. I was asked this question in a interview,i know only RPG/400 and i’m asking for debugging of RPG/400 program only sir. or is it only possible to debug BATCH RPG ILE JOB and it is not possible to debug BATCH RPG/400 JOB kindly help me out sir
