I am trying to implement the debugger replacement code. Looking at the examples and reading the help, I managed to sort of get it to work, but with mixed results. Here is a short sample of what I did:

—————–snip—————-

Declare Function Debugger_fetch

$Insert Debugger_fetch_equates

$Insert Logical

$Insert RTI_Debug_Common

$Insert Company_Dat ; * added to get some labeled variables

Equ Version$ To '1.0.0'

Equ Crlf$ To \0D0A\

Equ Cr$ To \0D\

Equ Lf$ To \0A\

Equ Tab$ To \09\

* works!

Locallist=Debugger_fetch('LISTLOCAL')

OSWrite Locallist To 'c:\local.txt'

* not working - Lcommlist return null

Lcommlist=Debugger_fetch('LISTLABELLED')

OSWrite Lcommlist To 'c:\labelled'

—————–snip—————-

The problem is that sometimes Lcommlist=Debugger_fetch('LISTLABELLED') returns data and sometimes not.

Locallist=Debugger_fetch('LISTLOCAL') always return data.

Tried it on 2 different OI systems. Any ideas or pointer welcome!

Thanks

Hi, Johan. Let me start with the simplest question - are you sure the stored procedure you are running when the debugger replacement is called has named common elements?

Thanks,

Hi Bryan. Yes, we use a lot of named common variables via $includes. At 1st it didn't work, then it started working after I made changes to another part of the program. Later on I made cosmetic changes to a string I write out via OSWRite, like in the example code, and it stopped working. I traced my steps back and can not find the problem. I even deleted all the code and went back to the most basic example just calling the functions.

Thanks

Hi Johan,

Debugger_fetch() will only let you access variables that are directly accessible from the broken program, hence you can't put the labelled common statement in Debugger_Replacement() because Debugger_Fetch() doesn't look at that.

In youe example the program that caused the debug condition would need to have "$insert company_dat" included before the LISTLABELLED method in your Debugger_Replacment() would return any data.

Thanks Captian!

Tried that out of desperation. After I posted yesterday, I tried an it started working again. Strange?
