debug information for module

["Leif Svalgaard" <leif@xxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Here is a question for the experts:

When you create a (RPGLE) *MODULE object,
information about the source file/member/library
seems to be stored in the OIR (the object information
repository) and also in a secondary associated space
(address of which is hidden at offset x32 in the
object - not the space - of the primary associated
space), thus in TWO places. This is already bad enough
(not normalized data), but here is the problem:

If you change the source information (e.g. the library -
which is a very meaningful change) in both places
and then bind the module into a program, the debugger
somehow still seems to find the original source information
and insists on using that source, disregarding both the
OIR and the HLL FILE DESCRIPTOR in the secondary
space. Is this "working as designed" and if so is there
yet a third place where this information is stored?
Where is the debugger actually looking?
