Hold jobqueue

submit your job

work with job to get the jobname number and user

then use STRSRVJOB to start a service job...

Then release jobq

and strdbg on the program......

After STRSRVJOB and before releasing the held job, run STRDBG for the program, and add at least one breakpoint in the code.

When finished, ENDDBG, then ENDSRVPGM.
