=== Long Hand ===
Submit your program into batch and make sure it is held. Do this by either holding the job queue that you are submitting the job to, or use the HOLD(*YES) option on the SBMJOB command.

* Use the WRKUSRJOB and display the job you with to debug with the display job option (5).
* Write down the user name, job name and number.
* Start a service job using STRSRVJOB entering the name, job name and number from the previous step.
* STRDBG PGM(YOURPGM) - Press F12 to exit the source display (Sorry, can’t enter breakpoints yet).
* Release your submitted job by releasing the job queue or the job itself.
* A display will appear asking you to press F10 function key. Press F10 and you will be brought to a command line.
* Enter DSPMODSRC and enter your breakpoints.
* Leave source display and command line by pressing F3 until you are back to the screen that asks you to press F10 to enter breakpoints.
* Press Enter to start your job.
* After that the job begins running and stops at the first breakpoint reached.

=== Short Hand ===
You can do what I did and create a command to combine these commands so that you only remember one command and not two.
