Re: Debugging Batch Jobs

Yes... You can debug a batch job...

1. Submit the job and hold it...
2. STRSRVJOB to the job that was just submitted...
3. STRDBG on the program you want to debug (You won't be able to set break points at this stage... )
4. Release the job
5. A Screen will be displayed asking if you want to set break points(F10) or execute the program (Enter.) I would recommend using F10 to set break points.
6. Use DSPMODSRC to set breakpoints in your program.
7. Debug away...

For remote debugging... You may want to check into the Remote Debugging tool provided in the Websphere development suite.

Thanks
George

Or, from the RSE editor, click set SEP. When the job runs, it will open the debug perspective and you can set breakpoints, whatever, even edit the source code on the fly.
