address

A storage location.

If an expression is present on the command line, that expression is used as the argument. If the command line does not contain an expression, an attempt is made to determine the address from the cursor position.

If no expression is provided on the command line, and it is not possible to determine an address from the cursor position (for example, when the cursor is on the command line and the command line is empty), the Skipped Subroutines window is opened if it is not already open. If the Skipped Subroutines window is already open, it is closed.

If an address is supplied, either as an expression on the command line or by means of cursor position, the subroutine at that address is skipped when the instruction that calls it is single-stepped, statement stepped, or executed when the PATH or FASTPATH options are on. If the subroutine at the specified address is already being skipped, it is removed from the list of skipped subroutines. The SKIPSTEP command acts as a toggle to set or clear a skipped subroutine.

If a breakpoint or a watchpoint whose condition is true is placed within the execution path of the subroutine to be skipped, execution stops at that breakpoint or watchpoint.
