Re: working with the value of integer variables in debug

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joel,

If it makes you feel better, I have had the same experience over 
several releases up to and including V4R3.  I have even tried 
supplying a hex value for comparison.  In that case I get a different 
error, "relational type error occurred."

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, like maybe not reading it in the
manual, but I haven't found a way to do much with the value of an integer
variable while running a program in debug.  When I try something like "break
100 when x = 5" on the debugger command line (let's say x is an integer loop
counter,) I get a type compatibility error.  

I realize I shouldn't be running programs in debug that I could be desk
checking, but...I am a moral degenerate.<g>
TIA
