Mike,
Thanks for the promote update. I appreciate you outstanding support!
Yes! The User-Interface should show the Status of the breakpoints, ALWAYS! I.M.H.O.
Glad to hear at least that for now "maybe" updating for the LPEX/*SOURCE view. <thumbs up>
Here are samples of good UI design in Eclipse, which RDI is built on top of the Eclipse Platform.
Eclipse show disable breakpoint status! Bravo! Good UI design!

Eclipse show skipped breakpoint Status! Bravo! Good UI Design!

In my opinion the breakpoint status should work properly in both *LISTING & *SOURCE views.
PS. Please do NOT get me wrong, RDI 9.6.0.5 is AWESOME. OVER-ALL, it has greatly improved my productivity! <Big Smile>
Sorry, I am overly passionate about my OS "IBM i" and my IDE, RDI. Some call it the Univac-400(AS400) at work. Sad...

Hi Ken,
So what you are really looking for is the debugger's setting to skip breakpoints to be reflected in the editor?
I don't believe that disabled == skip so I would not expect the breakpoints to be gray when you have skip enabled but it looks like Steve is investigating how to propagate the slash modifier at least into the LPEX view..

Mike,
Thanks for your Excellent support! Even when I get frustrated!
The support from Help-Systems has been Excellent too!
I want to be more specific:
Scenario #1: Disable Single Breakpoints:
Break-Point turns gray.

https://imgur.com/a/uKM3bz6
Scenario #2: Disable all breakpoints.
The break points are NOT GRAYED OUT? WTF?
https://imgur.com/a/mSOTztE
Do not forget you can right-click to DISABLE/ENABLE.
Just saying the User-Interface should show this breakpoints status disable/enable.
Like other IDE's, such as Eclipse/Microsoft Visual Studio.
This has been a long existing problem, nothing new!
I am trying to be positive, and do my duty and open a PMR.
Rather than flipping my keyboard and cussing... <Bad Ken>
Happy New Year! New Positive Ken!
RDI is great, but it needs a few tweaks and fixes here and there. To push it over the TOP! RDi keeps getting BETTER all the time.
Thanks!

Hi Ken,
Just to be very clear, I think you are concerned about breakpoints that are to be skipped. Breakpoints that are disabled, either by context menu or by un-checking them in the breakpoints view will show as gray rather than blue. And breakpoints set in the source will show as a square and when applied to the program will have a check mark as well.
So what I think you are looking for is, as Steve has described, the slash through the icon to indicate that a breakpoint is to be skipped. Is that correct?

Mike,
I appreciate your comment.
I only meant to mention that VS Studio show different colors. But, the User-Interface ALWAYS shows the breakpoint disenable. Whether you disable a single or all breakpoints.
I believe that RDI User-Interface should show if the breakpoints are disabled. Whether we disable a single break point or all of them.
Sorry for the unintended implication of IBM VS Microsoft IDE Wars.
I really love RDI, just needs a few tweaks and break-fixes here and there to make it even BETTER!
Thanks.

Steve,
I will open a PMR# on this tomorrow.
ON Visual Studio, the active break-point is RED, and an disable
breakpoint is GREY. But, I know that RDI is limited by Eclipse.
Something to keep in mind is this is not a limitation, it's simply following the standard of the product. Making it consistent with the Eclipse standard makes a lot more sense than trying to follow MS's standard for VS. If you like VS better, go work in VS.
Thanks again!
