Re: CPF7E15 Cannot Change variable? Why?

Hi Ken,

where did you change the color of the current debug statement to RED-DASHED? I searched the preferences up and down with no success.

It seems that the color on "Run/Debug - Compiled Debug - Debug Editors" is not used by the IBM debugger.
I also could not find any matching property on "LPEX Editor - Appearance".
Last bot not least I had no success on "General - Appearance - Colors and Fonts".

Obviously my eyes are worse than yours.

Regards,

Thomas.

Betreff: Re: [WDSCI-L] CPF7E15 Cannot Change variable? Why?

Steve,

My break-point was actually on Statement 916.00. I just highlight the statement where the varchar(4) was declared. I understand how that can misleading. I use the neat feature of the highlighter. Love that feature!

But, regardless, I will do that that again.

Maybe this screen shot might help.

PS. Due to my bad eye-sight, I use blue to highlight my current line in Lpex preferences. And I change my debugger to highlight in RED-DASH-box. So, I can still see my pretty syntax colors. RDI is really a great product! I just get confused when thing don't work. I am using a service program technology from last century. Maybe that confuses the debugger?

Hi Ken,

Try doing it after you step one more step. I'm guessing it's not inz'd until the step completes. Again, it's a guess since I don't work on the debug team. (Normally CPF7E12 means it's out of scope, or in this case not inzd?)

And if you were able to set it prior to that statement, the inz keyword would process it as spaces once that step completes.

Image of RDI 9.6.0.6. Not able to change varchar(4) in debug...

I guess IBM does not think being able to change a variable in debug is Important. Does not work as well as Microsoft Debugger. That is shame...

I have only ever seen this when the value I am trying to change the value to does not match the size of the variable.
And it was a very large variable.

Hi,

What is the problem with RDI 9.6.0.6, when I cannot change a variable in Debug?

I get the pop-up CPF7E15...

Unable to change the variable. How do I resolve this?
