Debugger cannot display strings longer than 1024 bytes

It is not possible to view variables or structures larger than 1024 bytes in size. The debug engine on the IBM i has a limitation and cannot send more than 1024 bytes to the debugger interface to display in the Variables or Monitors view.

Procedure

Workaround: You can view the variable from the memory view when you monitor the expression in memory using the Raw Hex and Char split pane rendering. In the case of structures, limit the view or monitor expression only to the element in the structure that is of interest. See Viewing memory in different formats in the Memory Rendering view for more information about using the memory view.
