RE: rpg debug issue

That was the key. The field I was trying to view was not used in the
program, so I added a line to the code to save it to a work field, then
the value displays.

Thanks a ton for the tip. I do not think I will forget this soon.
Amazing how fast you can debug a program when you have field values!

When I do an EVAL to display some field values, they are
blank or zeroes when I know they should have values. Other
fields contain correct values. What could cause this to happen?

Are the blank fields modified in the program? If the fields are not

used

in the program, the compiler often optimizes the code so that unused
fields are not available for the debugger.
