DEBUG
Syntax
DEBUG
or
RUN PROGNAME;DEBUG
Operation
System programmers use DEBUG to set breakpoints within programs and to display and
modify data stacks and registers.
To use the DEBUG utility, you must have privileged mode (PM) capability. However, the
;DEBUG option of the RUN command is available to anybody and allows users to debug their
applications.
CAUTION Normal MPE safeguards are bypassed in privileged mode. When attempting
to modify privileged data on disk, it is possible to destroy file integrity, or the
MPE operating system itself. Hewlett-Packard is
not responsible for changes
that you make to the operating system or system files. For more information,
talk to your Hewlett-Packard service representative.
