Re: Suppressing watch breakpoint popup

Dave,

Oh yeah! I can see that scenario now. It would be nice if IBM can get
the database of proposed enhancements available so we could vote on them.
This would be one that would be worth voting on.

Michael,

Given the scenario that you describe, I can see its value. However,
in my case I just clicked OK a couple of hundred times for no
benefit. A toggle when setting the watch breakpoint would be ideal,
especially if the watch breakpoint could be edited (unless there's
something odd about my setup, it can't right now at V7).

Just my 2 pfennigs... ;-)

Perhaps in your case it isn't useful. However, there are many times

when

I'm in a program and have set a watch breakpoint and several other
breakpoints--sometimes even other watch breakpoints. I've found the
dialog to be helpful in these cases--I immediately know exactly why

the

program stopped. There are times when my monitor view has too many
fields/variables being monitored to immediately see the watch which
triggered the break. Also, I work with some other developers who are
challenged enough by WDSC that it just might put them over the edge if

the

dialog were gone. Maybe an option to suppress the dialog in specific
cases would make sense.
