Re: Monitor Field Size Issue?

I have a CL program which has a defined field that is used to run SQL
strings through QShell. The field length is 2048. The compiler
recognizes it as a 2048 byte field, but when I try to view the same
field in RDi V9.0.1 in debug, it shows it as a 1024 byte field with a
piece of information at the right missing because it extends beyond
the 1024th byte. This is also causing my QShell command to fail
because it doesn't see the delimiter at the end. I'm using an INSERT
INTO in the SQL, and have other examples where this INSERT command
does work. But I find it odd about the field limitation. (Running
this without using RDi debug doesn't work either, which makes me
think it's an issue outside of RDi...but since it only shows a field
length of 1024 in RDi in debug, that might be a clue...)

Any guidance on this?

Little reason to remain beholden to only one means of debugging when a difficulty is encountered [with the preferred or chosen method]. Some other options to investigate the value of the CL variable include:

• Dump CL Program (DMPCLPGM); DSPSPLF QPPGMDMP SPLNBR(*LAST)
• Use a 5250 debug feature; STRDBG, ADDTRC, DSPPGMVAR, etc.
• Logging; e.g. SNDPGMMSG, SNDJRNE, etc.
