Re: FieldProc

Walt:

You cannot debug a "fieldproc" in the normal way, because fieldprocs are
run in a secondary thread (by the database) ...

See this article -- in the next to last paragraph, it explains exactly
what steps you need to perform to "debug" a fieldproc.

Hello, I am an RPG neophyte and I need to implement FieldProc field-level
encryption. So far I have found sample programs and compiled them cleanly;
and created a table and assigned a FieldProc program to it. Where I get
stuck is when I modify or add data to that field, which is when the
FieldProc pgm should perform a basic encryption. It seems to not be called
at all; no lower level msgs and it never reaches the first executable stmt
in debug. I would appreciate some guidance, thank you.
