Re: Debug

Interesting.

Since database fields are global I would always expect them to be in scope. To see them in Values you have to select the correct stack entry.

Somme time when you have 5 try adding the database variable to the Monitor view and see if that makes a difference.

When I took the conditional expression off the breakpoint, the program was stopping at the breakpoint, but the record I need to debug is thousands of cycles. I re-added the breakpoint conditional expression but instead of using the database field I used the input parameter for the sub-procedure because I noticed that the database fields were not visible in the Variables tab but the input parm was. That worked fine.

Thanks Jon. I figured out how to set a conditional breakpoint but it doesn't stop at the line. When I run the program (in batch) the debug display stops at the first line of the program, which is a comment. The I click on the green Resume button. Should I be clicking on something else? My conditional expression is pretty simple: ememply = '1784'.

I rarely use the RDi debugger so I am pretty rusty at it. I am trying to use it for a batch job. I have my service entry point set and working, but how do I set it up to break at a specific line when a database field reaches a certain value? There's got to be a better way than stepping through every read until I hit the one I am interested in. Seems like I have done it before but it must have been in another lifetime.
