You might have another choice - the graphical debugger that is tied to jt400 - it's very much like the one in RDi, but I hear that it's a different development team. Could be mistaken on that, of course.

Here're a couple links -

There are several other hits from this google search -

I still cannot add a Watch Break Point, even after install the latest/Greatest RDI 9.0.1

The whole problem for me is that the POP-UP menu does NOT work! It hasn't worked since the first release of RDI 9.0 for me...

I do NOT get the monitor variable in Watch-Points...

How do you do this without the Pop-Up Menu? Since that does NOT WORK?

I hate using the mouse anyway! And yes, the Shift+f10 does not work either for "Add Watch Breakpoint" or the Windows-Menu key...

Before RDI 9.0, the Watch Break point had worked for me. But, now it now longer works on RDi 9.0

Am I the only one?

I have way too many variables in my programs to use the "Variables View". For smaller programs and sub-procedures, that view is Great!

So, how do I get the monitor Variable to work?

Oh well, I will use Green-Screen Debug and watch, at least that works. I guess that is my only choice for now...


-Ken Killian-

But, is there another way to watch when variables change with the "Add Watch Breakpoint..." or than using the Shortcut menu?

The same process. Left click to put the editing cursor on the variable, then right click and 'Add Watch Breakpoint...' This does NOT put the variable in the Monitors view, but there's an entry in the Breakpoints view showing that a watch has been enabled. When I click Resume (F8), the program runs until the variable changes. When it does change, a window pops up:

DBGB0009I Variable vvvvv has changed in program ppppp, module mmmmm...
