Hey David,
Just for you alone I asked the peeps in the know and was told that they found an authority requirement with conditional SEPs that also applies to conditional SEP in RDi. They created a FAQ entry for this in Merlin debug doc but I have not pursued it further, that exercise is left to the gentle reader.

I am able to set SEP and set a conditional breakpoint on a line of code.
But the job always jumps into debug the instant it starts.
I hit F8 or click run... then it will break into the job when the
condition is met.
Or am I not understanding? Is there a way to have the SEP not jump into
debug until the condition is met?
I’m not talking about conditional breakpoints. This is a conditional SEP.
When you are setting a sep debug, there is a condition field in the dialog.
I’m not at my desk right now, but I think it’s just above the user profile
field.
