This issue has been discussed several times on this list. Depending on how you order the product, you may or may not get a notification that it is time to renew your service contract. I believe if you purchase RDi directly from IBM, they won't tell you, but if you purchase from a partner you might get notification. Or it might be the other way around. In either case I believe you have to repurchase the product to get service or updates if you let the subscription lapse.

Well, I would love to report my problem... but it seems as if my service contract on this product has expired (over a month ago), without my knowledge.
How could that be? We are a small company - I sign off on every "IT related" bill that shows up here.
This is not the first time IBM has dropped the ball - they've moved everything offshore and it shows. I can't imagine how much money they are losing simply because they didn't send a bill to a customer. The software entitlement idiot can't even tell me who to speak with.

Greg,
This is not a known issue to IBM, this is the first I am hearing about it.
If you can reproduce the problem it would be a big service to the community
to provide that scenario to IBM.
Thanks,
Edmund

Edmund,
Is this a known issue? I certainly do not want to disable this feature.
In pgms with lots of variables, it would be easier to use STRDBG.
Before opening a PMR, I would like to see if maybe someone already has.

Hi Greg,
So a cheap workaround is to disable the hover in the preferences. Windows
-> Preferences -> Run/Debug -> Compiled Debug -> Debug Editors and uncheck
"Allow hover evaluation".
I recognise it would be useful to support this in hover in general. You can
raise a PMR, then we can observe their epdc trace and see if there's
anything we can do to optimize it so RDi doesn't die.

I've had this occur several times and it creates a real mess.
I start a SEP (for myself)... then call the program on the green screen.
As I'm stepping through the program, I tend to "hover" over variables to
see what's in there. Some of my XML parser routines have relatively large
qualified data structures.
Order DS qualified dim(100)
<fields here>
...followed by an embedded "Item DS qualified dim(500)"
So they are not huge... but large. If I accidentally hover over the DS
"Order", RDi will grind away until it eventually fades out and indicates
(Not Responding) in the title bar.
Anyone else seen this?
Greg
