Removing Watch Conditions

Watches can be removed in the following ways:

• The CLEAR command used with the WATCH keyword selectively ends one or all watches. For example, to clear the watch identified by watch-number, type:

  CLEAR WATCH watch-number

  The watch number can be obtained from the Work With Watches display.

  To clear all watches for your session, type:

  CLEAR WATCH ALL

  on a debug command line.

  Note:

  While the CLEAR PGM command removes all breakpoints in the program that contains the module being displayed, it has no effect on watches. You must explicitly use the WATCH keyword with the CLEAR command to remove watch conditions.
• The CL End Debug (ENDDBG) command removes watches set in the local job or in a service job.
  Note:

  ENDDBG will be called automatically in abnormal situations to ensure that all affected watches are removed.
• The initial program load (IPL) of your System i removes all watch conditions system-wide.
