Also Hans, please, please, how about a read again REREAD opcode?

On the STRDBG when used for OPM programs you can say DSSPGMVAR  ZZ01BIN and it 
will
reveal the entire record buffer for file 1 and so on, why is this feature not
available with ILE debug?  This way if a field is not used, we can still look 
at the
record buffer for it value..  just a thought... I dont want to start a wish list
here, just things which we really, really need. in the trenches ...

This alongwith the read the ext file to DS will help us immensely.
