Setting and Removing Breakpoints
5. After the breakpoint is set, press F12 (Cancel) to leave the Work with Module
Breakpoints display. Press F3 (End Program) to leave the ILE source
debugger. Your breakpoint is not removed.
6. Call the program. When a breakpoint is reached, the program stops, and the
Display Module Source display is shown again. At this point you can step
through the program or resume processing.
Example of Setting a Conditional Job Breakpoint Using the
BREAK Command
In this example, we want to stop the program when the date field BigDate has a
certain value. To specify the conditional job breakpoint using the BREAK command:
1. From the Display Module Source display, enter:
break 128 when BigDate='1994-09-30'
A conditional job breakpoint is set on line 128.
2. After the breakpoint is set, press F3 (End Program) to leave the ILE source
debugger. Your breakpoint is not removed.
3. Call the program. When a breakpoint is reached, the program stops, and the
Display Module Source display is shown again.

National Language Sort Sequence (NLSS)
Non-numeric conditional breakpoint expressions are divided into the following two
types:
Char- 8: each character contains 8 bits
This corresponds to the RPG data types of character, date, time, and
timestamp.
Char-16: each character contains 16 bits (DBCS)
