Starting the debugger on OS/2

Restriction: Only remote debugging of OS/2 programs is supported.

To start debugging a program on OS/2 from the command line:

  1. On the OS/2 system, issue the irmtdbgc or irmtdbgj command at a command prompt. If you issue this command without any parameters, you will be prompted for the required information in the Load Program dialog on the local system.
  2. On the local system, issue the idebug command with the remote debug parameters at a command line prompt. You must specify the -qhost parameter.

If this happens, you will need to reload your program. To reload your program, select File > Load Program and enter the required information in to the Load Program dialog.
