Display-Modes for the Classic Debugger

Use

When you start a program in the Debugger, there are various display modes that you can use. All of the display modes have the same structure. The top part of the screen displays an extract of the program source code. The bottom part displays more detailed information. The most frequently-used views are available using the following pushbuttons.

Fields	The scrollable field display contains the contents of up to eight fields. The contents of the three most important system fields are always displayed. This is the default display mode in the Debugger. Siehe auch Processing Fields.
Table	Displays the contents of an internal table. This mode allows you to display and edit the entries in an internal table. See also Processing Internal Tables
Breakpoints	A scrollable display containing up to 30 breakpoints. Next to each breakpoint is a counter. You can also delete breakpoints in this display. See also Managing Dynamic Breakpoints
Watchpoints	You can set a watchpoint for a field so that the program is interrupted whenever the value of that field changes. This display mode contains a list of watchpoints, the fields and programs to which they are assigned, the current values of the fields, and the conditions upon which the watchpoint is activated. See also Saving Breakpoints.
Calls	This mode displays the current sequence of events, and the sequence of calls up to the current breakpoint. The last active call is displayed at the top of the list; previous calls are listed in reverse chronological order. When an event (for example, START-OF-SELECTION) concludes, it is deleted from the display.
