Re: STRDBG vs. STRISDB "watching variables"

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Short answer - No. I like the STRISDB version, as well. It's more like what 
I am used to in VB.

Now the debuggers available with WDSC do have something more like STRISDB, 
and they can handle both OPM and ILE, as well as Java and possible local C 
code on a PC, I think.

There are also the type of monitors like the STRDBG watch - based on 
contents of a memory location. The nice thing about these debuggers is, the 
contents are visible and updated as you step through, as in STRISDB.
