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

Answer Posted / sakthi

If you are not getting the source after entering DSPMODSRC
means then you have to check whether the source is in the
right library. SOmetimes the control may point to someother
library and hence you won't get the source to add
breakpoint.
Also make sure that you have compiled the source with
*SRCDBG or *SOURCE.
