| | | |
| ! | | Escapes out of the debugger into the |
| | | operating system. If a command is |
| | ! [ MPE command] | specified, it is automatically |
| | | executed. Otherwise, a session is |
| | | invoked and must be explicitly ended |
| | | before the debugger can resume. When |
| | | you execute the ! command |
| | | interactively, return to the debugger |
| | | by hitting the RETURN key. When you |
| | | use this command in an assertion or |
| | | breakpoint command list, control |
| | | returns to the debugger automatically. |
| | | If you use the escape without giving a |
| | | list of commands, you can return to |
| | | the debugger by typing exit at the |
| | | colon prompt. |

| am | | Activates (enables) the more feature. |
| | { am } | |
| | { activate more} | |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | |
| debug | | Transfers control to the MPE |
| | | NMdebugger by causing the child |
| | debug | process to call the "DEBUG" entry |
| | | point. When you exit, control returns |
| | | to the HP Symbolic Debugger. |
| | | |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | |
| f | | Sets the printing format used by the |
| | { f } [ "printf-style-format"] | debugger to print an address. Only |
| | { format} | the first 19 literal and formatting |
| | | characters are used. (See the section |
| | | on printf in the HP C/XL Library |
| | | Reference Manual for a discussion of |
| | | valid formats). Using the f (format) |
| | | command without an argument will reset |
| | | the format to the default format: 8 |
| | | hexadecimal digits, preceded by "0x". |
| | | |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | |
| g | | Moves the current point of execution |
| | { g } { line } | suspension to the specified line or |
| | { goto} { #label} | label. The specified line or label |
| | | must be within the same procedure (or |
| | | HP COBOL II paragraph) where execution |
| | | is currently suspended (at depth zero |
| | | on the stack). The program counter |
| | | will change so that the given line |
| | | number or the line that #label appears |
| | | on becomes the next executable line. |
| | | Execution does not automatically |
| | | resume. |
