Re: DBGE0001E Expression xxx is too complex

I believe that the expression evaluation is done by the debugger on the
IBM i. You could confirm that by debugging in the green-screen and trying
the same expression...

I'm running RDP 8.5 against OS V7R1.

I have a line of code that says:
OutA(1).Units(In.Mth) += In.QTYSH;

In a service entry point debug session, when I hover anywhere over the
left hand side it get a Debug Engine Message:

DBGE0001E Expression OutA(1).Units is too complex.

I see a report of something similar back in WDSc and it looks like also
in 8.5.

(Trying to monitor OutA doesn't work either.)

Anyone know if this fixed in 9.0? Or is it a restriction on the
underlying debug engine in OS/400?

Thanks, Sam
