Re: Using eval on debug command line

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
5k byte field into a data structure?

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