Re: Is there a downside to using NODEBUGIO

So, if everybody (?) usually uses *NODEBUGIO, why would the powers that be
make *DEBUGIO the default? I was just considering that there might be some
internal disadvantage. The obvious advantage is not having to hit the F10
key once for every stinking field in a record (sorry, "column" in a "row" -
I forget sometimes - I'm old) when you forget to F6 the spec after the
read/chain. Has anybody figured out how to quickly find the read/chain
that your stuck at?

The disadvantage to *NODEBUGIO is that you can't debug I/O. For example,
if you're getting an error reading a field in the
(RPG-generated) input-specs, but want to see the values you're getting on
prior input-specs, you can't do so without *NODEBUGIO.

In my experience, this comes up very, very, very rarely, so I always code
*NODEBUGIO.
