<h1 class="topictitle1">Debug ILE programs</h1>
<div><p>You can debug your ILE programs by using the ILE source debugger. </p>
<div class="section"> <p>This topic describes how to: </p>
<ul><li>Prepare your ILE program for debugging</li>
<li>Start a debug session</li>
<li>Add and remove programs from a debug session</li>
<li>View the program source from a debug session</li>
<li>Set and remove conditional and unconditional breakpoints</li>
<li>Step through a program</li>
<li>Display the value of variables</li>
<li>Change the value of variables</li>
<li>Display the attributes of variables</li>
<li>Equate a shorthand name to a variable, expression, or debug command.</li>
</ul>
<p>While debugging and testing your programs, ensure that your library
list is changed to direct the programs to a test library containing test data
so that any existing real data is not affected.</p>
<p>You can prevent database
files in production libraries from being modified unintentionally by using
one of the following commands: </p>
<ul><li>Use the <span class="cmdname">Start Debug (STRDBG)</span> command and retain the
default *NO for the UPDPROD parameter.</li>
<li>Use the <span class="cmdname">Change Debug (CHGDBG)</span> command.</li>
</ul>
<p>The ILE source debugger is used to detect errors in and eliminate
errors from program objects and service programs. You can use the source debugger
to: </p>
<ul><li>Debug any ILE CL or mixed ILE language application</li>
<li>Monitor the flow of a program by using the debug commands while the program
is running.</li>
<li>View the program source</li>
<li>Set and remove conditional and unconditional breakpoints</li>
<li>Step through a specified number of statements</li>
<li>Display or change the value of variables</li>
<li>Display the attributes of a variable</li>
</ul>
<p>When a program stops because of a breakpoint or a step command, the
applicable module object's view is shown on the display at the point where
the program stopped. At this point you can enter more debug commands.</p>
<p>Before
you can use the source debugger, you must use the debug options parameter
(DBGVIEW) when you create a module object or program object using <span class="cmdname">Create
CL Module (CRTCLMOD)</span> or <span class="cmdname">Create Bound CL (CRTBNDCL)</span>.
After you set the breakpoints or other ILE source debugger options, you can
call the program.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="strtiledb.htm">Start the ILE source debugger</a></strong><br />
After you create the debug view, you can begin debugging your application using the ILE source debugger.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="addpgmdb.htm">Add program objects to a debug session</a></strong><br />
You can add more program objects to a debug session after starting the session.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rmpgmdg.htm">Remove program objects from a debug session</a></strong><br />
You can remove program objects from a debug session after starting the session.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="vwpgmsrc.htm">View the program source</a></strong><br />
You can view the source of a program object using the Display Module Source display.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="srbp.htm">Set and remove breakpoints</a></strong><br />
You can use breakpoints to stop a program object at a specific point when it is running.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="cldbinstruction.htm">Use instruction stepping</a></strong><br />
After a breakpoint is encountered, you can run a specified number of statements of a program object, then stop the program again.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="eval.htm">Display variables</a></strong><br />
You can display the value of variables using the Display Module Source display or the EVAL debug command.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="chgvarval.htm">Change the value of variables</a></strong><br />
You can change the value of variables by using the EVAL command with the assignment operator (=).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="attrv.htm">Display variable attributes</a></strong><br />
You can display the attributes of a variable using the Attribute (ATTR) debug command. The attributes are the size (in bytes) and type of the variable.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="equat.htm">Equate a name with a variable, expression, or command</a></strong><br />
You can use the EQUATE debug command to equate a name with a variable, expression or debug command for shorthand use.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="dgnlss.htm">Source debug and i5/OS globalization</a></strong><br />
Be aware of certain conditions regarding i5/OS™ globalization when you are working
with source debug.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rmsteps.htm">Operations that temporarily remove steps</a></strong><br />
Breakpoints or steps may be temporarily removed from a program while debugging when you use certain control language (CL) commands to specify your library or program.</li>
