Breakpoints panel fields

Each line defines a breakpoint and includes a line command area and these fields:

Service

Name of the dialog service at which to interrupt dialog processing. This field is required.

When

Indication of when the breakpoint should occur:

BEFORE: Before the service receives control.
AFTER: After the service finishes processing.
Rnn: After the service finishes processing, but only if the return code is the integer nn.
Blank: Before and after service processing.

Function

The program function or command function that must be processing for the breakpoint to be taken. No entry in this field shows that the breakpoint can occur for all functions.

Active

Indication of whether the breakpoint is to be active now:

YES: It is currently active.
NO: It is currently not active.
Blank: It is currently active.

*QUAL*

If present at the end of a row, shows that qualification data exists for the breakpoint. This field is non-modifiable. See Qualification parameter values for additional information.

All input fields contain underscores. Empty lines are added to the first display to fill up the screen. If you delete all the lines used for defining breakpoints, the display is automatically refreshed with enough empty lines to fill the screen again.

All breakpoints exist until you end or cancel your Dialog Test session, or until you delete them from this panel. Enter new information by typing over the existing data. The underscores are pad characters to show the starting and ending positions for each field; you do not need to blank them out. You can create several breakpoints before you press the Enter key.
