From what you've said, TRAP(OFF) appears to be causing this behavior and it 
should be removed so that you get the startup screen.

You said without TRAP(OFF), the source displayed as comments. You should be 
concentrating on what is causing these comments. Is it the complete program or 
just the recovery routine. I suggest you try a simple program. After that, add 
a simple ESTAE.

Developer debugger has a boat load of restrictions:

"same source code" is typically a program alias. You'll have to research 
debugger requirements and restrictions.
