3 The typing cursor. In monitor mode, the cursor appears in the
debug window, and debug and monitor commands can be
entered. Responses to program prompts appear here. Commands
appear below the debug information line.
4 Shows which task the debug session is running in.
5 Shows the debug mode. In monitor mode, debug and other
monitor commands can be entered, and the program can be
executed. In editor mode, the typing cursor appears in the editor
window, and the program can be edited.
6 Displays entered commands and the results of various debug
operations. The > character serves as a prompt for user input
when you are entering commands to the debugger. After
processing a command, the debugger displays OK on the
command line after the command. That acknowledges
completion of the command, regardless of whether or not the
command was successful. For example, the command line shown
in Example Program Debugger Display indicates that the
debugger has just processed the command XSTEP place.
NOTE:Under some circumstances the display in the edit window can be overwritten by
program or system output. Press Redraw (S+F6) to restore the entire debugger screen.
Since the edit window can be moved to anywhere in the current program (or even to
another program), this pointer may not be visible in the edit window. The edit window will
move to the section of program containing this pointer whenever program execution
stops for any reason.
Debugger Operation Modes
The program debugger has two modes of operation:
l Monitor mode
In this mode the program in the edit window is accessed in read-only mode, and all
keystrokes are interpreted as system monitor commands. System and program
output is displayed in the debug window.
While in monitor mode, the program displayed in the edit window is accessed in read-
only mode. As described in a later section, most of the keyboard function keys perform
the same functions as with the SEE editor.
This is the initial mode when the debugger is invoked. See the section Debug Monitor-
Mode Keyboard Commands for a description of how monitor mode is used.
