Re: RDi buggy -- WDSCI-L

I gave up on RDi. It has too many issues to use every day. I've lost source by doing something wrong.

Edmund,

I can't recall if I opened a PMR for that or not... regardless, that was on v9.1 and I've moved to v9.5 this week.

I'll be out on vacation next week... if I remember, I'll try to recreate when I get back.

I spoke to Morris about that APAR and he said that was a display issue and it would not cause a hang. He said that Daniel Cragg fixed some issues with hover in debug. But Daniel searched and said that he has not seen this and would like a PMR.

If you have a large qualified data structure - say dim(1000). Then hover the mouse over (to see the contents), it will most definitely hang/crash.

I know this happens and still do it by accident.

Hi Warren,
I am not aware of any hangs with the debugger. If you find a scenario, please open a PMR and let us know, we would love to deal with it.

Several of my colleagues and I spend most of our development time working with RDi. We see many advantages in working with it. However, there are persistent problems with bugs. Much of the time it is during Debug. All the sudden our RDi session gets "hung", and we have no choice but to go to the Task Manager to kill it, or even restart our PC. Maybe the IBM folks need to do more rigorous testing before releasing new versions.
