STRDBG not bringing up options to set breakpoints

[chuckw0325]

I am running COBOL on an AS400 system. The system compiles all programs using CRTCBLPGM. I am trying to start a debug session using STRDBG. I enter STRDBG and hit F4. I enter my program name and the library. When I hit enter, it isn't taking me into the screen where I can set breakpoints and I'm not sure why. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

CRTCBLPGM creates OPM program, but on your screenshot of STRDBG the option OPM source level debug is set at *NO

I have tried to set that to *YES already and that still doesn't make a difference.

 

[mikrom]

How have you compiled the program using the CRTCBLPGM command, which options have you used?

The company I'm at uses WRKMBRPDM (Work with Members Using PDM) and within that menu, it uses CRTCBLPGM. I need to figure out how to make this work within the parameters they currently use. I've tried setting the Source Listing Options to *SOURCE and *SRCDBG and neither works.

 

[mikrom]

You didn't use debugging option, press F4 on Generation options and find and add the option *SRCDBG

 

[mikrom]

The compile command should be like this

CRTCBLPGM PGM(mylib/mypgm) SRCFILE(mysrclib/mysrcfile)
          OPTION(*SRC *SRCDBG)

If the compilation was successful then start the debugger

STRDBG (mylib/mypgm) OPMSRC(*YES)

That works on my local machine but I cannot get it to work when I send the compiled program to our test system. I get the message below. What else do I need to send to the test system them to get it to work there?

 

[mikrom]

Source not available usually means that you did not compile with the debugging option.

 

[mikrom]

What else do I need to send to the test system them to get it to work there?

The source member of the program.
To be able to debug the program, the debugger needs to have the source.

That's what I thought. Working on getting that to the test system. Thanks!
