RE: Debugging service pgm - eval vs F11

Hi Scott,

No, I wasn't using the debugger EVAL command to change the value of the
field, just to see it.  Using F11 alone does not show the hex value of the
field, so I was using EVAL FLD:x to see the hex value, not to change it.

OTOH, you are correct that I started debug after the program crashed.  In my
experience, that has never made a difference in being able to view the
values of fields used by the program with the debugger EVAL command vs F11.
