Executing Programs in Debugging Mode

Use

You use this procedure to execute programs in debugging mode when you are debugging HTML templates.

The HTML^Business debugger supports all the standard debugging functions that control the flow of program execution.

Prerequisites

Procedure

When you have started a debugging session, you can execute the program gradually or interrupt the program execution using the functions, which you can start either from the debug toolbar or the Debug menu, as described in the table below:

Function	Effect
Show Next Statement or Debug ® Show Next Statement	Points to next statement in program execution.
Go or Debug ® Go	Allows the program to run until it: Hits a breakpoint or watchpoint you have set Hits an implicit breakpoint (as defined by choosing Debug ® Preferences) Hits an exception Finishes
Step Into or Debug ® Step Into	Steps through a single line of code. If this code calls a function or contains a file include operation, the debugger steps into the function or file.
Step Over or Debug ® Step Over	Steps through a single line of code. If this code calls a function or contains a file include operation, the debugger steps over this function or file.
Step Out or Debug ® Step Out	Steps out of the current function (or current file, if included from another file) and returns control to the next outer stack frame.
Run To Cursor or Debug ® Run To Cursor	Executes the program to run as far as the line of code where the cursor is positioned, unless it is interrupted by a breakpoint or other condition before it reaches this line.
Break or Debug ® Break	Interrupts the program execution as soon as possible and transfers control to the debugger. This is useful if, for example, the session is currently executing a file and it is stuck in an endless loop.

As you execute the program with these functions, you can perform debugging tasks.
