The problem is simply that the debug EVAL command defaults to a maximum variable display length of 1024 bytes. The solution is simply not to use the default; specify the desired length on the EVAL command. And if the way to do that isn't known, you find out by using [help] for EVAL or by looking at documentation. Learning to use [help] is the solution for so many problems that it needs to be told over and over. -- Tom

If you want the total area, then ask for the total area. Who told you that you couldn’t display all of your variable?

Store a variable in a file? Do you mean change a variable in a program?
If you cannot get it to display all the positions in the debug session there is one other way. Place “DUMP” in the opcode in your code just where you want to see it’s contents. Then check the spool file for the total data structure value.
