RDi 9.5.0.3
It is true that you can't set a watch breakpoint unless debug is running and the program is under debug, but when I try, I get error CRRDG3003W Connection to engine was terminated by user. This happens when I click Finish in the Add Watch Breakpoint dialog. I have tried it several times now, including stopping RDi, and ending the associated debug and router jobs before trying again. Happens every time, so this feature is not working for me. This is an SQLRPGLE program and the field is defined in a DB file and a Display file.

I haven't use this feature, but isn't the Add Watch breakpoint what you
want?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Debug - Break when variable changes
In the past I have been able to set a debugger to stop when a variable value
changes. I am unable to find a similar feature in RDi. Here is the issue. I
have an old spaghetti program full of tags, gotos, and cabs that jump all
over the program. I have a variable that is being populated incorrectly, but
I have no idea where the offending code is. I would be nice to be able to
just have the debugger watch the value of this variable, and when it is
changed to the invalid value, break. Or when it is changed to any value
break there. This would speed up my debugging immensely.
If anyone knows how to do this in RDi, please let me know, or vote for my
RFE here
