Hi,

May be this is not quite the correct forum, but I hope here are also some
guys who use the WDSc/RDi Debugger for RPG and can point me to the right
direction.

I need to debug CGI programs and called procedures. To debug I use the
WDSC-Debugger (Version 7.1).
Unfortunately my colleague works with exported procedures and functions, but
defines almost everything globally.
In this way if the procedures are not called in a predefined sequence, the
procedures may fail or deliver wrong results because the global variables
are not yet filled correctly. (I do not want to start a discussion about
global and local variables, I have it already here ;)).

When debugging with the WDSC/RDi debugger I can see the content of my local
variable, but I didn't find how to see the content of the global variables.
Can someone give me a tip, how to see the content of my global variables?
(Or do I really go back to STRSRVJOB and STRDBG, which is quite annoying.)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser

Stephen,

Forgot to ask: Did you do a SAVE/RESTORE of the edit code
(QSYS/QEDIT8, IIRC) or did you just copy the info as you saw it on the
older iSeries?

Stephen,

In Spain (and the rest of the EU) a comma (,) is used for a decimal point.
I did some tests with a small DSPF and got some error when trying to display
a field when the DECPNT parameter had a 'N'.

Do you still have access to the old iSeries? Could you recompile the DSPF
to a temp file and try to replicate the errors there? Maybe there was a
change in either the source code or in the edit code definition...

That's ok it my first time dealing with them.

That's why I decided to copy the objects over from the old box rather
than recreate then to make sure I had same definitions. The N does
look odd but again I just took it as it exists so therefore this must
have been asked for and is correct. I do know it's for our Spanish
users but that is all. I thought maybe the N stood for something like
*NONE but it doesn't appear to. Note, field was originally 9,2 but has
just changed to 11,2 - the edit code seems to work for both
definitions on our old box.

Stephen,

My apologies if I'm insistent on the syntax part. I have done some
tests here and I have not found any problems but, Did you check if the
INTMASK and FRACMASK parms have the proper length? It seems to me that
the INTMASK is little long (they should be 9 and 2 spaces,
respectively).

Also, just curious, Why a 'N' as a decimal point?

It has been a long time since I last worked with User defined edit
codes, so I must been missing a lot of possibilities.

Stephen,

Are you sure that your edit code def. is the same in both machines?
It could be that your edit masks differ in size...

Can anyone assist ?
We have just migrated to a news iSeries machine running V5R4M0.
Previous was running V5R3M0. The DSPF compiled ok on previous
version with FT03 marked change to field size included but didn't
compile on new box. The only difference I am aware of is the change
to OS. All other aspects are the same i.e code and edit code
definitions. I have changed the edit code description to see if this
makes a difference but no joy.
