RE: ILE source debugger problem @ V3R7 -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi!

I have experienced a very similar problem under V3R6 and ILE C,
but in the same job (StrDbg ... before starting, no StrSrvJob).
I could not reproduce the problem, so there was no chance for
an AnzPrb.

Looks like a intermitting problem in the debugger which is lurking around
a long time already. If you CAN reproduce the problem consistenly
you should do an AnzPrb and describe it. Maybe you are the first
in the world who can trap the bug. That's the point.
Killing it is then up to the guys in Rochester or Toronto...
If its intermittent at your site you can only try to get
the latest PTF level for the debugger and hope...

It is unbelievable to me that you do not have an IBMer at hand
who is able to handle a reproducible problem. Or is the support
here in GoodOldEurope better than in the US?

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).
