I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the EVAL, but If you are trying to see the value of the DS, just use an EVAL = DataStructureNAME, if you're trying to change the DS, use an EVAL = DataStructureSubfield.
Hope this helps

Why do I get an "Assignment type error occurred."
when I code an eval on the debug command line that attempts to copy a

RPG considers a data structure to be also a character field, but the debugger thinks a data structure is just a data structure.
