Problem:

CBL_DEBUGBREAK does not work when COBOL is called from a .Net WebService.

In this case the .Net Web Service is C# based and calls COBOL via a Platform Invoke. The COBOL is unmanaged and issues a CBL_DEBUGBREAK call.

The debugger never appears.

Resolution:

At a Net Express Command Prompt you can issue "cblcored -i". This sets up some security setting so that the Service can communicate with the desktop so that the debugger will start.
