Error description
RDi v9.0.1 client on Windows 7 When debugging an RPG program that contains a data structure such as the one below an error message is given repeatedly. OCM_Debug CHAR(38) OVERLAY(OCMSG:1) DIM(12); When this variable is added to the Monitor Variable view in the Integrated debugger the following message pop-up is given: DBGE001E Expression OCM_Debug is to complex. After clicking OK, the variable is added. However, now the message pops up repeatedly. To stop the message from popping up bring up the Task manager and kill RDi. Steps to reproduce the Error: 1. Start RDi 9.0.1 2. Add Service Entry point for the RPG program 3. Debug the program 4. Click to add Variable: "OCM_DEBUG" to the Monitor View 5. Watch the multiple pop-up windows for message, "DBGE001E"
Local fix

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Programmers debugging RDi programs. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A looping dialog message appears when * * trying to monitor a variable. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * * **************************************************************** The UI tries to monitor a variable and when you expand the monitor, the debug engine sends a message, rather than an error. This causes the UI to try and expand the monitor again and cause the debug engine to send another message. Causing an infinite loop.
Problem conclusion
The message now causes the UI to throw an exception. The fix has been delivered.
