You can temporarily disable and enable script triggers while you work in the Script Debugger. You

2. To disable all script triggers in a file, click or choose Tools menu > Debugging Controls >
Disable Script Triggers.
3. To enable all script triggers, click or choose Tools menu > Debugging Controls >
Enable Script Triggers.
When you close the Script Debugger, all disabled script triggers are enabled.
For more information about debugging scripts, see Help.
Using the Data Viewer
You can use the Data Viewer to monitor expressions like field values, local and global variables,
and calculations. You can monitor these expressions while running scripts or while testing them in
the Script
Debugger.
The Current tab shows:
1 fields used by the currently running script whether they are referenced directly in the script or
indirectly in calculations
1 local variables used by the currently running script
1 global variables independent of any script
The Watch tab monitors expressions. You can enter expressions, one per row, in the Data Viewer.
When you use the Data Viewer with the Script Debugger, the Watch tab displays expressions from
paused scripts letting you see how data changes as you step though a script. Expressions remain
in the Watch tab until you manually delete them.
Monitoring the currently running script
1. Choose Tools menu > Data Viewer, or click the Open/Close Data Viewer button in the
Script Debugger window.
2. Click the Current tab.
