Re: Show Variable Contents in Debug

Michael,

    Could you add some details for the problem you encountered. 
    What kind of program did you debug, ILE RPG, OPM RPG or others ? 
    If you debugged ILE RPG, did you stop in subroutine of main procedure 
when you saw empty Variables view ? 
    Did you see anything in "Monitors" view after you used "Monitor 
Expression" action for the variable? 
    Can you add that variable to Monitors by clicking on the "+" sign on 
Monitors view ?
 
Thanks,

subject: [WDSCI-L] Show Variable Contents in Debug

Argh! Not intuitively obvious, at least to this non-intuituve person. I 
have
a program in Debug, I set a breakpoint, ran to that breakpoint, and now I
want to query the contents of a variable. I have the Variables view open,
but there's nothing in it. I right click the variable name in my listing
source (where the breakpoint is) and I can see Monitor Expression and
Monitor Memory, but nothing seems to happen when I select one. Wtf?
