Did you try
   BREAK 396 WHEN P_JOBNUM = '2ACZ0093' & W_WIPSTA = 'W'

        Subject:        interactive debug; break nnn WHEN condition



This is getting annoyingly frustrating.  I'm running interactive debug and 
am trying to set
conditional breakpoints.  Any BREAK statement that generates a syntax 
error gives you only that
there is a syntax error and the position in the statement.  Help on the 
"syntax error" message
tells you only "press F1 (Help) while the cursor is on the debug command 
line to show the correct
syntax for the debug command."  What a joke.  I have found nothing that 
describes in any detail
the valid syntax for the WHEN condition; it's certainly not in the online 
help.  The Interactive
Source Debugger manual (BTW, the latest edition either in Softcopy or 
InfoCenter is dated 1994 for
V3R1!) gives squat for examples in the section titled "Setting Conditional 
Breakpoints".

Here is the statement that is giving me fits:
   BREAK 396 WHEN P_JOBNUM = '2ACZ0093' AND W_WIPSTA = 'W'
                                            ^
The cursor is found where the ^ is positioned.  I am starting to think 
that the WHEN clause (?)
only supports testing one field.  That couldn't possibly be true for 
modern development debugging
tools, could it?  Well, I suppose that if Interactive Source Debugger 
hasn't been touched in 9
years and 9 releases, it's possible.

Is it time to call ASNA?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  BTW, this is on a 
v5r2 box.

TIA, Dan
