Re: Debugging very (very) complex data structures

Hi David, I don't know how to extend heaps in debug but this usually works:

Dcl-Ds MonStruct3 likeds(structure.substructure.subsubstructure)
based(p_MonStruct3);
...
p_MonStruct3 = %addr(structure(x).substructure(y).subsubstructure(z));

and monitor MonStruct3 and x,y and z. Very ugly but functional.
