Re: Accessing global variables in a nomain srvpgm in the SEP debugger

Use Monitors instead of the variable view. When you manually create a new
monitor you can specify an Array name or DS name or a variable name and it
will show up in the Monitors window. Arrays and DS's can be expanded by
clicking on the plus sign next to the name.

This relates to RDi 7.5.0.3

How to you access global variables in a nomain service program?

They don't show up in the variables view, which means that I can't change
their values.

We can view the values of simple variables by hovering the cursor over
them, but we have a lot of data structures, data structure arrays, and
nested array structures which don't display when we place the cursor on
those structures.

Also, for certain complex structure defined locally within a procedure
(ie. nested ds arrays), they do show up in the variables view, but when
you expand them to see their values, the debugger says the structure is
too complex to display.
