RE: Variable named STEP

[berestet@xxxxxxxxxx]

Actually, STEP is a command used by the green screen debugger (STRDBG).
It does exactly what you'd expect it to - performs a single step. You'd use
a 'Step Over'
menu option in the Distributed Debugger.

Since the Distributed Debugger shares its expression evaluator with the
green screen
debugger, we end up having similar restrictions.

Sounds fine....

Of course, now I have to ask:
What does STEP do in the debugger? And how do you use it?

Hi David,

If a variable name matches a name of one of the debugger commands (like
STEP, BREAK, etc.)
a special syntax is required.
In this situation, you will need to bring up the 'Monitor Expression'
dialog and enter the following:
%VAR(STEP).

This syntax will work for any variable, but only required for those that
match names of debugger
commands. In this scenario you will have to use 'Monitor Expression'
dialog.

Hope this helps,

In my RPG400 programs, I have a variable named STEP which holds the next
routine the program will go to.  When I try to add STEP to the Program
Monitors, I get a popup 'CPF7E15 : Syntax Error Occurred'.

Is debugger interpreting this like a STEP in a For/Next loop?
