RE: Debugging service pgm - eval vs F11

Hi Eric,

Yes, it is a DS subfield that didn't get initialized, but it's a global DS,
and the error occurred in a subroutine, not a subprocedure, and that's
what's puzzling.  I fixed the initialization problem, but I don't understand
why debug couldn't find it when I used the EVAL command, but could find it
when I used F11.

There is one subprocedure in the program, but it does not reference the
field in question.
