Hi,

I don't know if this is HP-UX specific, but I'll take my chances with this forum.

I'm using WDB 5.7 on HP Itanium 11.23.
'file' on my executable shows:
ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

The problem is with viewing the contents of the variables.
Following is a sequence that demonstrates this:
