Re: RDi Debug problem?

I have had issues since 9.6.x debugging with break points. When I need to set break points I use STRDBG. I have yet to put in a PMR or document any reason for my problem. Other in my work place at 9.6.x with the same plugins are not experiencing the same problem. I have debug break point problems with all programs without the DUMP op-code.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Debug problem?

Recently, Barbara Morris submitted RFE 123323,

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ibm.com_developerworks_rfe_execute-3Fuse-5Fcase-3DviewRfe-26CR-5FID-3D123323&d=DwIGaQ&c=2S-2xx8Cum_thMfWs-kOOHQTwolPvSZ4PFLhr1wDDGs&r=wgq2KO1Tl8HswJht2RKpmz7qvL2YDU_M-VhnRH6r43I&m=Uw3i-Lk--QCnaFNf7ODluI4bxFhU9_3GOsDP2aFY0S8&s=-Jd_qcaKFqVF96ySI-XJqFInvURzQY6VQtvEjTMcxnk&e=

regarding RDi debug. Out of curiosity I copied and modified the code sample as follows:

**Free
   dcl-s a_job char(3) inz('a!b');
   dcl-s a_37 char(3) ccsid(37) inz('a!b');
   dcl-s a_500 char(3) ccsid(500) inz('a!b');
   dcl-s a_utf8 char(3) ccsid(*utf8) inz('a!b');
   dump(a);          // Breakpoint set here (1)
   a_job = 'ABC';    // Breakpoint set here (2)
   *InLR = *On;
   return;

I found an odd inconsistency in RDi debug. I set two breakpoints (1) and
(2) above. When the program was run under RDi (SEP) debug, it halted at (1). When Resume or Step Into were invoked, the program continued to run to termination.
The same program with the same breakpoints was run under the host debug facility, (STRDBG).  Execution halted at (1), but when Resumed/Stepped, the program to halted at (2) - as expected.

It would appear that the RPG IV DUMP opcode causes the RDi debug to terminate program execution prematurely, ignoring subsequent breakpoints or statement stepping.

Running RDi 9.6.0.4 - anyone else experience similar?

Brian.
