    Hi Shameem,
    As of now, I haven't started working on IBM i(AS400) as client server. I will keep you posted in future if I did that.

    I can understand why you have used the name AS/400, but perhaps you need to switch to using :- IBM i(AS/400)

    Hi Yusuf,

    I have a debug requirement in RPGLE where I have 2 variables say a and b. I need to break when a = (2 * b). But, debug won't allow arithmetic operation in "break when". Wanted to cross check with you whether there any option in debug. I'm not sure of the replication steps and don't have the option to modify the program as it happens only in live environment.
