Debug the Web Service

Insert a Breakpoint in the COBOL Source

To introduce a breakpoint in the COBOL source of the Web service, the Calculator application:

1. Open your Visual Studio project.
2. In Solution Explorer, double-click the COBOL source, calculator.cbl.

   The application opens in the code editor.

3. Insert a breakpoint on the ADD statement in the Procedure Division.

   To do this, double-click in the left margin of the ADD statement.

Rebuild the project

1. Right-click the project in Solution Explorer.
2. Select Rebuild from the context menu.

Start Debugging

To start a debugging session:

1. Click Debug > Start Debugging.

Run the Client and Debug the Service

You run the client as follows:

1. In the Net Express project window, right-click CalculatorDemo-app.int.
2. Click Run.
3. Click OK in the Start Animating dialog.
4. In the Application output window, enter the address of the Web service and the port as stored under Listeners for WEBDEMO.

   The format should be as follows: http://IPAddress:Port.

5. Press Enter twice to skip entering a username and a password.
6. On the Add.a line, type an arbitrary number.
7. Press Enter.
8. On the Add.b line, type another number.
9. Press Enter.

   At this point, the debugger hits the breakpoint in the COBOL source and Visual Studio opens and highlights the line of code that has a breakpoint.

Stop Debugging

When you have finished debugging, you need to end the debug session as follows:

1. In Visual Studio, click Debug > Stop Debugging.
