Error description
Debugging ILE RPG using Rational Developer for i (RDI) 9.6.0.7 string values in an array contained in a structure may not be displayed correctly in the Variables or Monitors views. Attempting to modify the value for an array element that is showing badly in the Variables or Monitors view will fail with an error message. For example, with data structure: dcl-ds MyDS qualified; myData char(1900) dim(50); end-ds; Expanding MyDS.myData in the Variables view will show a value only for the first element and nothing for subsequent elements.
Local fix
For the example, view or monitor the specific array element of interest such as MyDS.myData(5)
