Microsoft CodeView Versions 2.20 and 2.30 gives a "Syntax error" when
attempting to use the Dump command on an array of dimension greater
than 1.
For example, issuing the DI i(1,3) command to dump the contents of an
array element fails.
To work around this problem use one of the following methods:
1. Use the "?" command, as follows:
? i(1,3)
2. Enclose each dimension index within parentheses and omit the comma,
as follows:
DI i((1)(3))
DI i(1(3)) and DI i((1)3) are also acceptable.
A three dimensional example would look like the following:
DI j(1(2)3)
Any permutation of the parenthesis around the index is sufficient.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Versions 2.20 and
2.30. We are researching this problem and will post new information as
it becomes available.
