Help with Debugging RPG Programs with DSPF

[antoine59910]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently facing a challenge with debugging RPG programs that use Display Files (DSPF) on IBM i. While I'm comfortable with debugging programs that don't involve DSPFs, introducing a display file into the mix seems to complicate things for me. I don't know how to involve the DSPF...
I receive an error message in QSYSOPR, which seems to be related to the file handling process.

Here's the error message I encounter:

Cause . . . . . : The RPG procedure KUTP30 in program PTFV230426/KUTP30 received message CPF4103 during an implicit OPEN operation on file KUTP30E. The actual file is KUTP30E.

Are there any particular settings or steps I should follow when setting up the debugger for programs that include DSPFs?

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Right now the IBM i Debugger for VS Code from IBM does not support interactive debugging. It will be possible when support for Service Entry Points has been released, though.
