RE: RPGLE program dumps not showing variable data

I've never gotten the error in the first case.

The second case can often happen if you have variables that haven't been
initialized properly.  IE, zoned numerics, packed numerics, pointers, date,
time, timestamp, etc.  Alphabetic's usually don't have this problem.

Whenever I define a field or data structure in D specs, by habit, I always
include the Inz keyword to make sure it's initialized properly.  I also
avoid defining any fields in the C specs since you can't initialize them
before the program starts running.

Subject: RPGLE program dumps not showing variable data





Dear All,

We have a two situations where the section of an RPG program dump that shows
variable contents is not being produced.

In the first case the dump has a message "Dump terminated because variable
data
not available".

In the second case there is a message "Error occured while retreiving
variable
data".

Please does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening ?

This is for V4R4, RPGLE programs.

Rgds
Nigel
