IBM i Debug

IBM i Debug is an extension for Visual Studio Code that provides interactive debugging support for debugging IBM i COBOL and RPG applications in VS Code, in conjunction with IBM i Debugger.

This extension is usually used with Merlin or Code for IBM i.

It is possible to use the debugger outside of those extensions. See the contributed launch configurations when managing the local launch.json file.
