Vern,
You are NOT CRAZY, this happens to me quite often. My variable do not have to be "large". It was broken several release ago...
Oh well, pick your battles...
PS. Training a new senior developer with over 35-years' experience on IBM.
Just no previous experience on RDI. His previous employers did NOT purchase RDI for their developers. <sad>
He keeps asking me why things don't work consistently in RDI. I tell him that he would have to ask IBM. I have no clue. My Microsoft co-workers do code review with me. And then ask why the Hover does not always work. I said, I don't know... Ask IBM...
I just use the product, it worked in previous releases.
Oh well, not a "show-stopper", but still a black eye for RDI, and a DISAPPOINTMENT... :(

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Debug Behavior
Forgive me if I've posted this before...
When stepping through an RPGLE program in debug, the "hover" behavior seems to change on its own. Typically, I can hover over a variable to see the contents. However, RDi seems to randomly change that behavior (while in debug) to displaying the variables attributes... like I'm editing the source instead of debugging it.
Honestly, I think this seems to occur when I'm monitoring a large variable (i.e. varchar(2048)), and double click to see the contents.
I have to restart RDi to fix this.
Is this a known problem?
