Gary,

The 'EVAL' command in the debugger is very different from (and not related to) the EVAL op-code in RPG. So... it's okay that these two 'eval' tools don't behave the same.

If your only issue is that the debugger is only showing you the first 1024 bytes of your field, you don't need to move it to a DS to solve this, you can do (at the command line in the debugger)

EVAL MYVAR:C 5000

And this will show you all 5000 characters.

Why do I get an "Assignment type error occurred."
when I code an eval on the debug command line that
attempts to copy a 5k byte field into a data structure?

Example:
Debug . . . EVAL chds = a5kfld

The identical statement executes in code, but not from
my debug command line.

I have a module that I use in rpgle where an sql statement has
parameter markers that must be replaced with a user-selected
value.

the fields passed to the module are 5k bytes and when I want
to view these fields in debug I have been coding an eval to copy
the long field to a DS that breaks the field into 1024 byte segments
I can display, but I would like to avoid the code, just include the
chds that breaks the field into 1024 byte segments, and enter
the EVAL from the command line.
