Debug Suggestion

[Doug Luurs]

Just my 2 coppers worth...

I'm with Richard on this one .. when a program crashes, a simple
Text log file with diagnostic information would be very nice to have.

If something crashes in the background or during an overnight cron,
It is highly doubtful you will see the information 'blink' by.

Subject: Debug Suggestion

I have a  new output program that as I added functionality to it, it started to crash.  As there are over 47,000 records to process and the program runs through quite a number before crashing, I created a small file called bug_fix.  This file has one field in the record; in this case it is a sales journal # (7,.0) (change this field to meet the requirements of the program).  The bug_fix record is created at the start of the process for each record.  When the crash occurs, I can check this file for the sales journal record where the problem happens and then set the debug on at that record.  This makes it easy to find the problem.

I should have thought of this years ago as it would have saved a lot of time debugging a program.

Just thought I would pass this suggestion on in case you hadn't thought of doing this.
