The debug perspective is bombing on me a lot of time that I stop using it. Anyone had any luck using it? The old-style debugger seems to work better.
It crashes on us all time to the point we cannot use..bug# OE00198337. As far as I know it is still not fixed in 10.2B SP2.
The details below:
Hi Roger,
I figured out what makes the debugger crash sometimes on your UnifyHost project. It crashes under the following conditions:
1. The Preference for "OpenEdge Architect > Editor > Build > Actions > Compile on save if required" is checked.
2. A source file containing a REFERENCE-ONLY temp-table definition is opened.
3. Space is not allocated for the temp-table in some other file.
I logged bug# OE00198337 for the problem. Until there is a fix, the only thing to do is to avoid stepping through code that fits this pattern in the debugger. Use message boxes or write to a log file instead to trace program execution.
Hello,
is Debug Perspective = using Internal Debugger?
The OE Debugger is, please excuse me, the worsest debugger i ever seen since MS VB3.
BTW: Some thinks i like, debugging runtime with (external) debugger without changing the code and the trace functions.
Until today one team in our company are still using 99% message boxes for debugging propose as they used all the time.
This could be the cause (my noticed problems):
- the applications is running different within debugger as without (often GUI problems)
- stopping on any errors seems not to work (no answer from PSC)
- single step debugging ends itself without cause (perhaps this is your noticed bug), most times withing catch blocks
- two debuggers (i like to have one debugger working fine)
- stopping at the beginning of the application by itself - in MS Studio debugger is attached by default without noticable difference.
- how to debug ABL (.NET) application with using external DLL? (within Debugger from MS Studio i can break within the DLL)

Yes, internal debugger of OE Architect not the one that comes up when using the -debugalert parameter. I got an emphatic NO answer if there will be an enhancement to the debugger soon.
I still do believe that Progress needs to have the update to the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) separated from the RDMS release.
