Re: Break when in debug

Anita,

(Hope you are debugging RPG; else David might get upset :-)

If the debugger gives this error, it tells you you are trying to compare incompatible items, often numeric and character. You are trying to compare a field to a character literal, so chances are you're field is numeric. If you press F1 on the error message, it will tell you on which position in your input things go wrong.

Hi,
I am trying to use a 'break when' in debug and it is not working. I have done this many times b4 but am having a problem with it now. I am typing:
BREAK 1346 when hremp# = ' 5382' and I get an error which reads "Relational type error occurred" This field is set to 7.
I then type: BREAK 1346 when hrlnam = 'SMITH' and get the same error. The field is set to 35.
I then pressed F6 on that line and tried to use F13 to condition it. Still no luck.
It takes forever to step thru this so I would like to find out what I am doing wrong.
I feel certain that I have used this in ILE b4. We recently updated our 400-could this have anything to do with the problem.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
