APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When debugging ILE RPG source using the Rational Developer for i
  (RDi) 9.5.0.2 debugger, some values may be shown as blank.
  This can occur when expanding a large array data structure in
  the Variables or Monitors view.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Debugger does not display large array structures with more   *
  * than 100 fields.                                             *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  For an RPG array data structure variable, the tree hierarchy in
  the Variables view and Monitors view is not correct. The child
  nodes of a large array data structure become corrupted.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new node hierarchy has been implemented in the Variables view
  and Monitors view for RPG array data structures. In the new
  behavior, an RPG array data structure is displayed in a way that
  is similar to a C structure array. When you expand an RPG array
  data structure, you will see the complete list of array elements
  at the next level. When you further expand each array element,
  you will see the fields for each array element.
  
  There is no RDi client change. You need to pick up the following
  host PTFs to get this fix:
