We use the BP (break on program) command in the debugger pretty extensively.  However, on this one customer system, when we do BP followed by a catalogued program name, we get an unusual response:

!BP ADJ.DTL.WHSE.DEF
***'ADJ.DTL.WHSE.DEF' is not a directory file.

The file that this item is in is definitely a DIR-type file.  And of course, this basic program itself is not a directory, it's text.  Is there any workaround to this?

Kevin,

If ADJ.DTL.WHSE.DEF is globaly cataloged Is there a VOC entry for ADJ.DTL.WHSE.DEF in the account that is not a cataloged pointer and maybe resolves to a file, or is there an OS file called ADJ.DTL.WHSE.DEF.

Regards,

Kevin,

Jonathan brought this post to my attention earlier today. I have also just updated your Support Case. This is a build specific bug it would appear. Below TEST1 is globally cataloged, also tested with any random characters and received the same error message. Will update with the fix version shortly.

:RUN BP TEST
***DEBUGGER called at line 1 of program BP/_TEST
!BP TEST1
***'TEST1' is not a directory file.
