? DataViewer in Script Debugger

[Jerry100]

I've searched and cannot find the function of the black dots which appear to the left of fields in the Data Viewer when using the Script Debugger. I have a lengthy script and sometimes they appear to the left & sometimes not. It's a repetitive script and sometimes values don't appear which should. It appears that the Get(FoundCount) function doesn't always produce the expected results.

The dots indicate fields referenced by the current script step.

The only values I know of that don't appear when I think they should are variables when they are empty.

Fitch,

Thanks for the info. It leaves me wondering why when I have a script that repeats the same five script steps 20x, sometimes the fields in the script step are flagged with dots and in some they aren't. I've gone over the script a dozen times and can't find any mistakes.

"The only values I know of that don't appear when I think they should are variables when they are empty."

That's because variables don't exist when they are empty.

[Fitch]

Yes, but if a variable is defined in a script, I'd like to see it in the data viewer even if it's empty. I don't think that's an unreasonable wish.
