3.2.10 Setting and canceling breakpoints in monitoring mode

You can set a point at which execution in monitoring mode is to be temporarily suspended. You can also cancel a breakpoint.

• Setting a breakpoint

To set a breakpoint:

1. Move the cursor to the line at which you want to set a breakpoint.

   

2. Choose Monitoring, Set Breakpoint.

   A breakpoint is set at the line where the cursor is located. The breakpoint is indicated by a circle symbol () to the left of the line.

   

• Canceling a breakpoint

To cancel a breakpoint:

1. Move the cursor to the line at which you want to remove the breakpoint.

   

2. Choose Monitoring, Cancel Breakpoint.

   The breakpoint is canceled at the line where the cursor is located.

   

• Canceling all breakpoints

To cancel all breakpoints:

1. Choose Monitoring, Cancel All Breakpoints.

   

   All breakpoints in the displayed script file are canceled.

Notes

• In edit mode, you can set a breakpoint at any line. In monitoring mode, you can set breakpoints only for executable commands or statements in their entirety.

• If you set a breakpoint at a comment line or line space, Editor automatically searches downward for an appropriate position in the script and sets a breakpoint there. If no appropriate position can be found, no breakpoint is set. Instead, execution halts at the first line in the script file.
