Choose To
Step Over
Execute the script one step at a time without entering sub-scripts.
If the script step is Perform Script, the Script Debugger will execute the sub-
script, and proceed to the next line of the calling script. The Script
Debugger will execute all sub-script steps until it encounters a breakpoint.
Step Into
Execute the script one step at a time, as well as enter and show steps in
sub-scripts.
If the script step is Perform Script, the Script Debugger will step to the first
line of the sub-script and await user input before proceeding to the next
sub-script step.
Step Out
Execute all script steps in the current script and, if the script is a sub-script,
return to the line after the Perform Script step in the calling script.
If the script is not a sub-script, the Step Out command will cause the Script
Debugger to execute all remaining script and sub-script steps, until it
encounters a breakpoint.
Set Next Step Set the step execution pointer to the highlighted script step.
This command passes control to the highlighted step but does not perform
the step. The highlighted step is performed when script execution or debug
stepping is resumed. Any script steps between the last executed step and
the assigned next step are not executed. Click a step to highlight it, then
click Set Next Step.
Run
Pause
Toggle between executing all script steps until the end of a script or a
breakpoint is encountered and pausing. When a script is paused, you can
double-click the script in the Call Stack list to edit it. Each active script
opens in a separate Edit Script dialog box, so you can edit multiple scripts.
Script execution is not halted until you save the changes.
You can step through a script using the Step script button when a script is
paused.
Halt Script
Halt execution of a script.
Enable/Disable Script
Triggers
Temporarily disable or enable all script triggers in a file.
You must have Full Access privileges to disable a script trigger. Script
triggers are enabled by default. When you close the Script Debugger, all
disabled script triggers are enabled.
You can also choose Tools menu > Debugging Controls > Disable Script
Triggers or Enable Script Triggers.
