Re: [WDSCI-L] Debugger and Variables(Monitor)

["Vadim Berestetsky" <berestet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Aaron,

Let me try to tackle those points one by one...
1) I am curious what it is that you are looking for as far as variables
monitoring goes.
Seems to me you are doing RPG. So, are you looking to view all 'local'
variables in a
single window? Or would you like to view all variables in scope (including
global) in a
single window? Are you willing to pay the price of monitoring that many
variables at the
same time?
I hinted in my earlier note that we are looking to support local variables
for RPG...

2) Not exactly sure what you mean by saying that color coding have been
lost. As far
as I know, executable lines should be in a different color from
non-executable. If this is
not the case, could you please send me screen capture to my e-mail address.
I'd like to
see exactly what it looks like.

3) I will look into this, but I wonder if you can at least reference
individual
fields within the data structure?

Thanks,

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:

      /Copy QSource,UsrSpcPr
