System Debug Reference Manual

DO 

Reexecutes a command from the command stack.

Syntax 

     DO [cmd_string   ]
     DO [history_index]

DO, entered alone, reexecutes the most recent command.

Parameters 

 cmd_string      Execute the most recent command in the history stack
                 that commences with cmd_string.  For example, do wh
                 could be used to match the most recent WHILE statement.

 history_index   The history stack index of the command that is to be
                 executed.

                 A negative index can be used to specify a command
                 relative to the current command.  For example, -2
                 implies the command used two commands ago.

Examples 

     %cmdebug > do w 
     %cmdebug > wl 2+4
     %6

Execute the most recent command that started with "w".

Limitations, Restrictions 

Upon initial entry into System Debug, the command stack is empty, since
no prior command has been executed.  If the DO command is entered as the
first command, an empty command is reexecuted.  This is effectively the
same as entering a blank line.

The MPE XL command interpreter allows an edit string to be specified on
the DO command line.  This feature is not supported in System Debug.


CAUTION The output format of all System Debug commands is subject to change without notice. Programs that are developed to postprocess System Debug output should not depend on the exact format (spacing, alignment, number of lines, uppercase or lowercase, or spelling) of any System Debug command output.
