Hi Marco,
I think you will get no local variables shown if you are debugging against
V5R4 and your program has a variable that is the same as a debugger
keyword such as "USER". To see if this might be the case for you what
you can try is to debug your program with the system debugger (green
screen) and issue the command :
EVAL %LOCALVARS
If this results in the message "Syntax error occurred" then you have a
variable somewhere in your program that matches a debugger keyword. This
does not happen in V6R1 or later. Unfortunately I don't yet have a list
of the debugger keywords that will cause the error.
I don't believe that this problem is related to what Thierry describes
below.

Yes there is a problem with the Variables view since most of time I debug
programs it's empty ("No variables for the actual stack frame" or
something
like that).

Jon and Susan,
I had a similar problem where stepping would not stop but continued to
the end of the program.
I reported the problem to IBM, they're still working on it but they said
that it was related to the Variables view.
When that view is not visible (like having another view such as Monitors
in front of it), the problem disappears.
Have a nice day.
Thierry.
