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

If you try to debug a object which is present in qtemp,then you cannot even see the source for fixing break point.I have experienced the same earlier.

If my rpg program has a date field, what extra care I have to take while compiling that rpg program? If the file is keyed and I have declared the file as well as key list properly in my program. Still am getting an error message like "chain/reade operation is not allowed" what may be the case?
