Re: Substring in Monitor Expression

Ewout,

What is the type of your variable ? 
If your variable is RPG or COBOL array, you can specify it with a range 
when adding an expression monitor, such as myvariable(101..110). 
For C++/C array,  WDSC integrated debugger does not support array subset 
syntax yet , such as myvariable[101..110].  You can  monitor array or 
string starting from a specific position though, using myvariable + 101.

subject: [WDSCI-L] Substring in Monitor Expression

In a debug session, I want to check the value of a specific portion of a 
large (buffer) variable. For example, I just want to check positions 
101-110. How can I achieve this? As it seems, Monitor Expression does not 
have the possibility to set a substring. Am I missing something? 
(Actually, I hope so.)
