Problem:

Variables of type PIC S9(4) COMP with binary length 2 bytes (32 bit) are displayed with 4 digits. Is it possible to change the debugger settings to show the full range of values?

Sample: Field BIO-SEGM-LGTH-USE has a value of 11156 (x'2b94'), but is displayed as 1156.

    What version of product are you on? Do you have any updates applied? Is this a managed code project or a native code project? On the surface it would appear this might be a bug, since there should be no need to change settings to see all allowable values?

    Unfortunately I don't have an environment close to that available right now. My best advise is to open a support incident at supportline.microfocus.com. What you are describing should to the best of my knowledge work
