CCS/CC2640: How to view static variable

Is there a way to examine Static  ?

[Found on this thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/70217/255694#255694]

I had tried "expressions" tab, it shows the Variable on drop down menu when I typed.

However, after enter, it always shows "identifier not found"

Looks like some formatting is missing or something

A source file named sdram_test_main.c had two static variables, one at file scope and another with function scope:

static uint32_t file_scope_var = 1;

static void inc_static_var (void)
{
    static uint32_t function_scope_var;

    function_scope_var = file_scope_var;
    file_scope_var++;
}

In the expressions entered the variables twice:

a) Just using the variable name.

b) Qualifying the expression as:

'<source_filename>'::<variable_name>

When the debug context was in a function in the source file with the static variables, both types of expression displayed the value of the variables:

When the debug context was in a function in a different source file the expressions with just the variable name showed "identifier not found", but the expressions qualified with the file names did display the values:

Do you still get "identified not found" even when qualifying the expression with the name of the source file?

I tried below format 

int8_t testing=88;

'main.c'::testing 

and it only work without "static" being defined in variable. 

Once static is defined, then it shows "identifier not found"

I wonder some setting in the CCS tools in build options, I need to enable

I am using ARM compiler

I have not resolved the issue yet...for now, I just changed to non Static to debug the code.
