Check your NATPARM - you need SYMGEN active to generate the symbol table which is used by the debug. Once you turn this on, restow your object and the Local Data should be available.

Typically you will see SYMGEN set ON in NATPARMS, to apply to all sessions, but you can turn it on or off within a session from the toolbars - Compiler Options, I believe.

And, surprise, the SYMGEN parameter is documented at great length in the debugger documentation&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[here](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/nat6312win/debug/debug-start.htm)
