Re: WDSC/RDi Debugger and global variables

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Birgitta,

The WDSCi list would probably be a better place for help with that question.

That being said, you can right click on any variable's name and select
"Monitor Expression" and the variable will be added to the "Monitors"
tab (vs. the debugger automatically adding the local scope variables
to the "Variables" tab).  The Monitors tab also allows you to directly
add variables by name.

Lastly, hovering your mouse over a global variable should result in a
tool tip pop up of it's value.

HTH,
Charles
