Setting Conditional Break Points in Debugging an Interactive Job

[Surya]

Hi,

I need to debug a RPGLE program by setting conditional breakpoints.

Currenlty, I am using the following command for setting conditional break point

Break 70 When Acct# = 100

But i need to debug the program if the Acct# is either 100 or 150.

So, I need to modify the above command

as 'Break 70 When Acct# = 100 or Acct# = 150'

The above command is having syntax error.

Can anyone help in this.

Surya,

As far as I know, you can only use one condition on a break | when type of condition. You could set the other break condition on the line before or after 70.

Hi

The way I come around such conditional break is to add aditional lines in *SRC with exact condition to test with IF/ENDIF statements. Then I temporary compile program in QTEMP, execute STRDBG between IF/ENDIF statements. Debugger will stop when the condition will reach. When solution is found, remove the IF/ENDIF statements from *SRC, compile program again, and that it is.

Try adding parenthesis for each condition: Break 70 When (Acct# = 100) or (Acct# = 150)

I'm not sure why you're responding to a thread posted in 2006? I've not used conditional breakpoints but it is likely things have changed since then...
