Have you thought about changing the command default?

Pity. But I can deal with it.

I'm so old school, I still try to code within a 32k partition, so I think about the stuff that can happen behind the code.

Thanks for all the responses.

*NODEBUGIO didn't use to exist.

When IBM gave it to us, they left the prior behavior as the default.

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.
