No variables or expressions in debug

System set up:
WinXP Pro, Eclispe 3.2, Flex 3 plugin, IE 6.
I read a lot about how FF3 kills the debugging of Flex apps,
but I moved my preference browser to IE to test it. I set a
breakpoint on my code at where a variable is declared (Following
Lynda.com example) and theirs shows the variable in the debug
perspective, but mine doesn't (yes, I am clicking the debug
button). Any ideas?
I get information in the debug tab, but nothing in the
variables area. I see the breakpoint in the breakpoints section,
and nothing in expressions (which I imagine I wouldn't for
now).

Did you click the little plus next to "this" ?

How can I add a watch to a variable or expression during javascript debugging

Since the new update to safari 6 I am looking for a way to add a watch to a variable or expression during javascript debugging. I don't want to go to the console line every time to type in the separate variables and expressions over and over again. Also hovering over a variable doesn't show the value.

I couldn't find the answer either (I submitted an enhancement request to http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html in hopes that it will get added back in), but downloading a nightly build of webkit (http://nightly.webkit.org) will give you an alternative version of Safari that still uses the version 5 inspector, which to me is preferable anyway.

Alphabetized variables list in the debug pane

How come in Director 11 it is no longer possible to sort
variables listed in the debug window alphabetically. In previous
versions, you could click on the tab to have the globals and
properties sorted from a to z. This no longer works. It is really
difficult to visually scan a long list for a particular variable
name. Is this a bug, or is there some other way to do it?

Put a breakpoint in the listener function for the event,
because until, the event is dispatched, the variables do not exist.

JSTL: Using value of a variable in expression

All, I am stuck on this problem and I hope someone here can help. This is a real tough one for me to explain but I'l try my best.
I am try to have my includes a little more component oriented. So I wanted to use something like the following
<c:import url="/somedir/outputusers.jsp">
<c:param name="collection">users</c:param>
</c:import>
I would like to use the value of a request parameter in a JSTL expression. For example, say I have a Collection of objects implementing the User interface in the request under the name 'users'. Normally in JSTL I can reference it by ${users}. Now say I wrote a JSP page that will display any collection of objects that implement "User". I would like to use something like above to pass in the name of the variable in request scope, that points to the collection of User objects, i.e. "users". Then in the included jsp I would use JSTL to loop through the collection and output it in HTML.
The problem is I cannot find any want of doing it. It would probably look something like this:
<c:forEach var="user" items="${ ${param.collection} }">
Any ideas?
Steve

In the worst case, you could always resort to using scriptlets to retrieve the parameter. and set it up as an attribute in the local page scope.
<%
String param = (String)request.getParameter("collection");
Collection userCollection = (Collection)request.getAttribute(param);
pageContext.setAttribute("local_collection", userCollection);
%>
<forEach var="user" items="${local_collection}">
,,,I think this should work.
JSTL is great, but it can't yet replace every scriptlet, much as I would like it to.

Hiding variables in Express

In Oracle express, what is the syntax for hiding a variable? I can open the .db file in Express Administrator and go to Property Inspector and set the property UserVisible to False. How can I do this in the code when I'm creating the variable?
Thanks

Hi,
I don't have Express installed right now, so I can only make suggestions.
1. Look to see if you have any objects which represent a data catalog, specifically DACAT or DA.CATALOG. In other Express applications you can hide variables using this catalog.
2. Try using the OBJ and PROPERTY commands. The OBJ command can provide the list of properties are associated with a variable.
e.g.
show obj('PROPERTYLIST' <variable_name>)
Then:
consider <variable_name>
property 'uservisible' FALSE

Variable not visible in debug mode

Hi experts,
i created a variable using a custom exit.
i'v added to my query, but when launch debug mode, i can't see it in I_T_VAR_RANGE table;

is that normal? do i have to do something else?
Thanks.

Internal table, variable,...when debug

Hi all,
Is there any place I can see all internal table, variable,.. of a running transaction?
thanks.

before excuting that transction in the command line enter '/h'
after tht execute the transaction,.. in the debugg mode u can view all the internal tables, their values, etc..
reward appropriate points.

Variables, database, expressions in Pages

*Making Pages a tool for techichans and researchers*
Most advanced literature contains text created from specific datastructures.
They could for example be
1 a database being a reference list. At the referring point you use on text, eg "Andersen 56",
at another place there is a refernce list with an entry being a line of a reference list.
In this list there is a header "Andersen 56" and a text entry "Andersen Henry, My research title".
2 there may be result described by an expression using several parameters and result.
Current software as Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, InDesign, Quark etc does not support such feratures.
Some simple variant was supported by FrameMaker, however discontinued.
Implementation
One need two parts, the TEXT and the EXPRESSIONS.
The TEXT should be a Pages document.
Into this document another view is included.
It consists of severeal rows of parameters linked by expressions as in Numbers (or Excel).
One entry (row and column) is referred from in the TEXT.
The referred value (content in the EXPRESSION) is substituted at the particular referencing point.
The text is styled according to style rules in Pages.
*Importing and exporting rows of EXPRESSION*
In order to export rows to other documents or rearrange the EXPRESSIONS andto recognize them: each row must use an IDENTITY.
The reference in TEXT thus consists of (IDENTITY, COLUMN).
Moving the row around among different documents or different tables is therefore possible.
*Apple style*
Combine Numbers an Pages in one product.
Do allow the inclusion of any number of these ones in onde document.
Make one as the main one.
Let the user select the proper document to edit.
*Power of the implementation*
This is one of the most powerful document tools ever designed.
The implementation cost is extremely low, Apple already have Numbers and Pages.
Only a small reference battery, similar to hyperlinks, needs to be developed.

Hello
Apple's programmers don't necessarily have the time to read user-to-user discussion groups.
In fact, they don't visit it.
Apple gave all of us an official channel to pass our wishes:
_*Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu*_
My own point of view is that neither Pages nor Numbers are designed as tools for techichans and researchers.
But it costs nothing to try.

Format of Variables Change When Debugging

When debugging in LabWindows, the format of the variables (decimal, hex, ASCII, etc.) is always set to the default under certain circumstances. For example if you step into a function, change format of a variable, step out then back in, the format has been reset to the default. There are other instances when you run, stop, rebuild and debug where this is done also.
I've asked NI to explain why the variable format can't be retained, at least within one debug session (until exiting LabWindows). The explanation is they use a stack-based system to store this information so it is lost during debug.
I find this to be an extreme annoyance and an enormous waste of time. For example, I deal with a lot of arrays of binary data. Seeing these array values in ASCII is of no value. So I'm nearly constantly setting the format back to hex during debugging.
I'm curious whether anyone else thinks this is a problem. NI knows about this, but it's unlikely they'll do anything unless there is a lot of feedback from us users on the value of fixing this. Post a note and let me (and NI) know what you think, whether you think this is important or not.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Chris,
Yes, using Format >> Preferences is exactly what I was talking about when I said "change the format of a variable". Thanks for giving the exact details of doing this.
I'm still using v8.1. I'm leery of renewing my service contract because I don't feel NI is listening to me (as a customer, not just a LabWindows user) regarding the issues that affect my work and ways to greatly improve my productivity. I have been suggesting this for a few years now, to no avail, both with tech support on the phone and through your product suggestion center.
I can't explain all the intricacies of the issue. Maybe what you have to do is set breakpoints and run rather than step in and out. Here's what an engineer in NI's R&D center said:
It's not actually rebuilding the project that causes the information to be lost. It's actually even worse than that. As variables come in and out of scope, the formatting and the expand/collapse state of each variable is lost. So, if you've hit a breakpoint in a function and re-formatted a local variable, and then continue debugging outside the function, eventually stepping back into the function, the formatting for the original variable is reset when the item is created anew in the variable display, based on the data type of the variable.
The problem we have is that the formatting information is stored in stack-based memory which is associated with the actual items that you see in the variable display. As these items disappear and are re-created in the variable display, the formatting information is reset.
The complexity of representing variable scope information, including arbitrary block scopes, makes it pretty hard to maintain variable information in global, non-stack-based memory. It's obviously not impossible, but unfortunately it would require a fundamental redesign of our debugging paradigm.
Finally, we have heard this request from multiple customers, and I assure you that you are not the only customer who has asked for this feature. The problem with this feature, as with many other feature requests is one of trade-off. It is obviously impossible to accept all the feedback that we receive, and so we are constantly having to weigh development costs of a particular feature, the risks involved in implementing it, and how widespread its benefits are. So far, this feature has not made the cut. However, this does not mean that we're ignoring it, or any other customer feedback. Many customer-requested features have made it into previous releases, and we're confident that this will too, in the not too distant future. As a matter of fact, we can honestly say that most new features in a given CVI release originate with customer requests. I also just want to re-emphasize that each time you reiterate how important a given feature is, it drives up its priority and makes it more likely that we will implement it sooner, rather than later. With that in mind, we definitely welcome your suggestion to post a note about this request in the forum. We expect other people to second the request, and the more people that do that, the better.
So my question wasn't posted for NI to respond. It was to find out if anybody else using LabWindows finds this issue to be detrimental to productivity.
Thanks,
Dave

Flex 2 Builder: Variables view pane & AS3 component debugging.

The problem is as follows:
A supposed ComponentA (ActionScript 3.0 class component in
package components.* & extending mx.coreUIComponent) is placed
in the main application:
// script
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:components="components.*">
<components:ComponentA/>
</mx:Application>
ComponentA has it's methods, variables, etc... but none of
them are listed in the Flex 2.0 Builder's Variables view-pane while
debugging the application. Actually, nothing at all is listed there
- the view-pane remains empty.
So far, I haven't found any reference to this situation in
Flex 2.0 documentation or anywhere else, so I would appreciate any
suggestions on this issue.

Can you ensure that the SWF your are debugging is a release SWF?
I've recently fixed a bug (which is not publicly available) where the same stacktrace was visible:
A release SWF loads a debug SWF via SWFLoader/ModuleLoader, etc.
Making sure the main container SWF is a debug one. That should fix this problem.
(You can check whether a SWF is debug or not by opening it in nemo440 (google for that) and looking for debugfile / debugline opcodes.)
Let me know how it works out.
Cheers,

Responsable agents: What's better? Role or expression (variable)

Friends,
I'm thinking about make things in the better way to improve the system performance.
I have a dialog task that are sent to reponsables by a variable or expression configured in the own task. This variable is filled in a background task before this task.
Does anybody know what is the best way to do this in about performance ? If I change this functionality by a role if it will be better to performance.

Ok friends,
Each sub-wf searches by actual agents...but any sub-wf can be canceled and back to its father or can terminate both workflows.
I think the normal way is to use all the agents and a think I can (as ... had said) populate all the agents in the begin of the wf (maybe the father)...even I don't use all agent's virtual attributes/variables during the wf's... I think that searching for all the agents in a only time is best to performance.
I'm studying about it to the things better here....I think putting it (searching for all the agents) in the beginning of wf, will help in making the sub wf's run faster and will create each sub-wf's work items faster too, because it won't this step (searching for all the agents) before each one...
I think it solves two problems here...because here, another problem is that some times the Ztransaction trigger some terminating events for tasks that didn't had time to process and be created and standing for this terminating events...but it is another problem that I'll try to study for improve the wf design too.
I didn't know if both of you have recognized my problem....or design....but here each sub-wf has a step before dialog task that searches agents for its next dialog step by filling a multi-line variable that represents the agents to the dialog tasks...

Debugging and Local Variable

Hi All
In MS visual studio i can select a local variable (Promise I will go and wash my mouth out now) and add it to a watch therefore i can see what the value of the variable as I go through the code line for line
how can I view local variable in xcode ?
Regards
Tony

To do something similar in Xcode, select the variable and either choose Run > Variables View > View Variables as Expression or choose Run > Variables View > View Variable in Window. Both options place the local variable in a separate window for you to view.
There's not much difference between the two options if you're viewing one variable, but there is a difference if you're viewing multiple variables. If you view the variable as an expression, Xcode places all the variables you want to view in one Expressions window. If you view the variable in a window, Xcode creates a new window when you choose Run > Variables View > View Variable in Window.
