RE: STRDBG problem with WATCH

Hi Vern,

It's local, but it always has the same name in all modules, and is passed by reference.

Is errorMessage a local variable or a global one?

Hi,

I have this problem with the watch function on the iseries

debugger for a long time. It's probably something I'm not
understanding correctly. As I don't have access to the WDSc
debugger so stuck with STRDBG, I'm asking here.

Here's an example :
With the program stopped at a break point on a CALLP (

errorMessage ) in module A, I notice that errorMessage is not
blank before the call. So I do F17(watch) on errorMessage and
F12 to continue.

The program breaks automatically in module B where

errorMessage is initialized to blanks. F12 again and I arrive
at my CALLP break point again, with the same message in errorMessage.

Whats occurring?

Thanks!
