Application Object Variable Data Value Display Question

[Coder7]

Good afternoon all!

I think I'm misunderstanding something.

Someone told me that I can add an asp page to my application and, using the application object, I can display the data values of all of my application variables which would be invaluable for debugging in Production and QA where I cannot use response.writes.

I added this page to my application right under the application root folder and i only got a few pieces of info and all of it was information from my global.asa i.e. environment, slconn, dbconn, etc.

Did I misunderstand regarding being able to display data values for vbscript variables on all of my application asp pages?

Somebody straighten me out, please! Thanks.

Display on a web page for the purposes of debugging in QA and in Production where I cannot use response.write (as I stated above).

QA is the pre-migration to Production test environment. I got the answer to my question.

The application object will provide me only with information from my global.asa which is good to have but not what I need for my current debugging issue. To get the data values that I need I added a statement to an include that exec'd from almost every application asp page. The statement is a concatenation of all of the variable values that I want to see (that are NOT 'private' information) and then I make them an html comment so that I can view them using view source.

Hope this helps others. This is incredibly helpful when there is a problem in environments were standards do not approve data values displays for debugging purposes (ie Qa and Production).

have a great weekend and holiday all
