Inspecting variables

When a thread suspends, the top stack frame of the thread is automatically selected. When a stack frame is selected, the visible variables in that stack frame are displayed in the Variables view. Complex variables can be expanded to show the elements that make up the variable.

When debugging SQL procedures, the SQLCODE (integer) and SQLSTATE (character) variables are always monitored in the Variables view. A value of SQLCODE other than zero (not equal to zero (0)) usually indicates that the SQL code being debugged contains errors. Similarly, a value of SQLSTATE other than '00000' typically means that the code contains errors.

In the Variables view, you can modify the contents of variables and variable objects. For information about changing the contents of variables, see the related task below.
