Re: Officially the weirdest thing I've seen in RDi

Greg,

Sadly, I have used iProjects. And it has burned me.... Especially in debug BEFORE IBM added that option "UN-CHECK" to check iProject.

Why the RDI debugger does not check the object for the current source first, is completely beyond me. If not found, then try checking the iProject might be a good idea...

Yup, re-start RDI to get it to work... Before trying to figure out what happen, always restart RDI first...

Then try the '-clean" option... Next try creating a new workspace... Most know this, whom have used RDI for any length of time...

Too bad, like many things in RDI, it AWESOME and FABLOUS, with the little "caveat", when it "works-properly". But, I have unrealistic expectation. <sorry>

Do NOT get me wrong, I love RDI. But, it is not yet 100% SOLID. It does work quite well about 95% of the time, but that needs to be higher percentage. 100% like SEU would be ideal!

Oh well, at least they updated RDI to check if the number of source lines do not match in debug. Bravo! Good UPDATE!

Sadly, they don't that with iProject source! Surprise!

Yes, I know it is for those vendors whom compile the code with Dbgview(*none). I guess that is the reason why. But, my code was compiled with dbgview(*ALL).
Oh well, I beat a dead horse... <frown>

PS. I am *ALWAYS* under crunch-time, about 95% of the time... <LOL> Hence fall back to RELIABLE green screen debug!
Which is sad. But, oh well... It happens...

I don't use iProject...

At the top it appears to be loading
Debug - RemoteSystemTempFiles/TBFPWR7/QSYS.LIB/EBAY.LIB/QRPGLESRC.FILE/EBAY100.RPGLE

Since restarting, I have not seen the issue.

I’m not logged on now but it does show you at the top of the screen if you are looking at the remote member source or iProject Source

Greg,

I got burned on that several years back. And that is why they added
the option whether to check the iProject source or not...

With it being checked, it means it will check an old iSeries project.
Even if from 5 or 10-years ago!!! Ouch! I got BURNED BIG TIME on that!

Yes... that box is checked. Should it be?

Is it showing you the source code from an iProject?

That is the default:

Under Preferences | Run/Debug | IBM iDebug see Search i Projects first
for debug source checkbox.

I'm working program. I had it in debug by way of setting a service
entry point. Stepping through the pgm, I received a program error
inside a monitor statement (not sure if that matters).

I made some changes to the program (that was on my screen in edit
mode), saved & compiled it, refreshed my SEP...

When I ran the program again, the code had REVERTED to what it was
BEFORE the changes. I could literally do CTRL-Z (undo) and get my
changes back.
Repeated the above process, and it happened again.

I have reproduced this 4 times now.

I will close RDi and restart... but this is beyond ridiculous.
