ILE source debugger problem @ V3R7

[Lorne Sturgeoff <lgs@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone else having this problem?

I am debugging an ILE RPG pgm running in a service job under a STRSRVJOB 
command from an interactive session.  I am stepping through the program using 
F10.  Occasionally, when I position my cursor on a variable and strike F11 to 
display the variable, my keyboard locks up and I must cancel my interactive job 
from another session (option 2 on the sys req is not allowed).  Just before the 
last crash and burn, I positioned my cursor on the 'e' of 'CycleYear' and got a 
message saying something like "Identifier e not defined".  The EVAL command 
works and sometimes F11 works.  I think F11 works on an operation that does not 
have an extended factor 2 (for example, in the result field).  My program is 
running in a named activation group. 

I will probably have to report this to IBM and have to explain it five times to 
someone who doesn't know what I'm talking about.  Eventually, someone else will 
suggest that I load a PTF that is unrelated to this problem but which might fix 
it anyway and which will have 26 pre and co-requisite PTF's, some of which will 
be application delayed until the next unattended IPL (sigh).
