Re: RDI 9.6.0.5 - DBGE0001E Expression DS is too complex

I cannot speak to this being a system debugger problem but I know I have seen this in RDi quite often but I seems to me that I could just reference the DS in 5250 debugger and not encounter the error.

You can use all the EVAL commands in RDi that you use in the 5250 version, specifically indexing and substringing. When the Monitor Expression pop up appears type in array(idx) or array(idxA...idxB). For sub string its %SUBSTR( variably x y ).

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDI 9.6.0.5 - DBGE0001E Expression DS is too complex

If I recall correctly this is not an RDi limit but rather the system debugger. I _think_ there are techniques to get round it but not sure if they are applicable to RDi.

Don't have time to research it right now but I suspect if you check the RPG and/or Midrange forums you'll find an earlier discussion.

One quick fix would be to create a duplicate of the structure you want to debug (or a simple char field of appropriate size) and base it on the address of the nested Ds you want to view.

I'm attempting to debug newly written code that is parsing JSON into a multi level data structure and running into this message.
Is there a limit that RDi can traverse into a data structure?

Not the actual code, but here in order to maintain the structure of the incoming document, here's the basic structure.
The DBGE0001E message appears when attempting to expand SectionA.

dcl-ds DS qualified;
field1 varchar(10);
field2 varchar(10);
field3 varchar(10);
field4 varchar(10);
dcl-ds Section1 dim(2);
field1 varchar(10);
field2 varchar(10);
field3 varchar(10);
dcl-ds SectionA dim(10);
field1 varchar(10);
field2 varchar(10);
field3 varchar(10);
dcl-ds Section2 dim(2);
field1 varchar(10);
field2 varchar(10);
field3 varchar(10);
dcl-ds SectionB dim(10);
field1 varchar(10);
field2 varchar(10);
field3 varchar(10);
end-ds;
end-ds;
end-ds;
end-ds;
field5 varchar(5);
end-ds;

Thanks,
Doug
