While i'm stepping into the source code, some variables simply disappear after i'm passing their declaration line... something like:
| Code: |
-- root is a variable passed to the function with the following code.
-- I can see cursor on the 'variables' pane here.
DECLARE cursor REFERENCE TO root;
-- 'root' is still shown in the 'variables' pane, but cursor vanishes in
-- a misterious way after passin the following line:
MOVE cursor FIRSTCHILD; |
seems like i can see only variables passed to the function, but even them vanish sometimes from the 'variables' pane in the debug perspective...
any ideas ? |

Hi harelmoshe1,
Does root have a Child element ?
If not then ofcourse it will vanish.
Regards. |

The debug pane also lets me see the entire XML-tree heirarachy... for some reason, it seems that everywhere in my code, not just in that particular part, local variables (declared by DECLARE) are not shown, while parameters passed to the function are shown 
can't I add variable names somewhere and see their values at run-time ?
It only shows the variables it picks... |

Hi harelmoshe1,
Instead of giving us a hint everythime and asking us to guess what ur problem is,
Why dont you simply paste your code and the XML message that you are passing 
If the value u are storing after the declare is null then the variable will not appear....If you store a default value in it in the next line after your vanishing line, it will reappear....No, it is not magic 
Regards. |

Sorry, but i can paste any code here due to confidentiality reasons (the code is used in military systems).
I just wanted to know if anyone had exprienced similar problem, assuming that this is a probelm.
can't i add variable names in some place and watch their values at run-time ?
Thanks anyway. |

I assume you're using version 5.
What FP level?

If you mean FixPack, i think it's version 4.
Is it a known bug or something ? |

Hi,
If you are not able to see the variables in debug mode and you are sure that the variable does not have null values... then
u can try either of this
1. Try to put the trace node and print the Root, Environment, Local Environment. It will show the details.....
2. U can store the variable data in Environment tree in various stages and finally log and view the values....

Hi harelmoshe1,
I dont know how far we can help you if you cannot share any info with us...
Maybe if you change the variables and show us where stuff is going wrong...coz this is like searching a needle in a haystack...
I am still quite sure that this is a NULL value problem...
Regards. |
