In RDi, how do I run a debug with UPDPROD(*YES)?

Question

In RDi,

• right-clicked on the program to debug,
• selected "Debug or Code Coverage"
• then "Set Service Entry Point"

Then started the program from a command line in another session.

RDi confirms 'Debug' perspective switch. However, I didn't get an option to start debug with update production files = *yes, so I got a DBGP0003E message.

Checking thru the joblog the root cause appears to be:

Member myfile cannot be opened while UPDPROD(*NO)

Answer 1

In Preferences (Window-->Preferences)

Run/Debug-->IBM i Debug

Make sure Update production files is checked.
