Ok, here I have another example.

I start my program and step into the beginning of the sub procedure where a dspf field will be initialised. I check that its value is blanc. I put a break point on the instruction after the field is initialised. The program stops at the breakpoint and not at the line where the field is initialised.

I wonder if this is a bug that we have not fixed?

If it's truly called by reference, then a change in the
called procedure will be reflected to the caller. But you did
not give us the prototype - Maybe there is something there ti
give a hint.

Hi Vern,

It's local, but it always has the same name in all modules,
and is passed by reference.

Is errorMessage a local variable or a global one?

Hi,

I have this problem with the watch function on the iseries

debugger for a long time. It's probably something I'm not
understanding correctly. As I don't have access to the
WDSc debugger
so stuck with STRDBG, I'm asking here.

Here's an example :
With the program stopped at a break point on a CALLP (

errorMessage ) in module A, I notice that errorMessage is
not blank
before the call. So I do F17(watch) on errorMessage and
F12 to continue.

The program breaks automatically in module B where

errorMessage is initialized to blanks. F12 again and I
arrive at my
CALLP break point again, with the same message in errorMessage.

Whats occurring?

Thanks!
