Command Line READ in idb does not wait

[Rich_F_1]

A coworker is having problems getting idb to wait at command line READ statement.

idbc stops at the READ statement and waits for input but idb does not wait.

Is there a setting in idb that controls this?

He said the previous version of idb worked fine. 11.1 073.

Hi Rich, let me check with our development team whether this is a known issue and whether it may already be fixed. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back. Thanks, Rob

Hi Rich, the underlying issue is probably with the CIN definition in Fortran. I think if you redirect the console output to the debugger, than the GUI debugger should halt at the READ statement as well. Can you try launching idb with the command line options "–tty /dev/tty"? I think that should do the trick . Thanks, Rob

That worked! He is back to fixing problems in his code. Thank You for the quick response. Rich
