[WDSCI-L] Debugger and Variables(Monitor)

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just started using the debugger (5.0) today and have some
questions/statements.  It would be nice if I didn't have to select each
variable that I wanted to see, but instead have it load the Monitor window
with a list of the current variables in the program.  More often then not I
want to view many variables and not few variables.  Is there a setting
somewhere that can be changed?

The color coding seems to have been lost because the code listing is being
used. . . I didn't use the CODE debugger that much , but I am pretty sure
that the code was colored while debugging.  Takes me back to my green screen
days where every color is the same - makes the debug hard to read.

And finally, if I define a data structure as 'address' and there is a field
called 'address' within another data structure, I am unable to Monitor the
content of the data structure because it gives me this error: 'Host: CPF7E56
Identifier is ambiguous'.  It does this within STRDBG also. . .  Here is the
code:

     D lib             S             10A   Inz('AARONLIB')

     D space           S             10A   Inz('TESTUSRSPC')

     D i               S             10I 0

 

     D email           DS                  Qualified

     D  address                      25A

     D  name                         25A

 

     D address         DS                  Qualified

     D  city                         10A

     D  state                        10A

     D  zipCode                      10A
