Natural DEBUG Tutorial

Notes:

The following is a simple tutuorial on the use of the DEBUG utility. It outlines a couple of simple techniques for using the utility in debugging programs. this utility is particulary useful in debugging CONSTRUCT programs where multiple programs are being called.

The following is an example program for learning DEBUG...

> DEBUG > + PROGRAM ALL ....+....1....+....>>> SOURCE HAS BEEN STOWED 0010 DEFINE DATA LOCAL 0020 1 #I (P3) 0030 1 #WORD (A10) 0040 END-DEFINE 0050 * 0060 FOR #I = 1 TO 10 0070 /* 0080 ASSIGN #WORD = 'STUDY' 0090 ASSIGN #WORD = 'HARDER' X 0100 ASSIGN #WORD = 'GREAT' 0110 ASSIGN #WORD = 'GPA' 0120 /* 0130 IF #I = 3 0140 ASSIGN #WORD = 'GRADUATE!' 0150 END-IF 0160 /* 0170 END-FOR 0180 * 0190 END 0200

AJGTEST LIB TEST <<<..+....MODE STRUCT..

Insure you have STOWED your program. In order to use the Debugger, the module must be stowed and the source must NOT have been modified and saved. If you have done this, just STOW again. Start DEBUG with the DEBUG command here or at the NEXT prompt.

The Breakpoint you have just set in the Debugger will cause the program to stop on line 100 every time that line is executed. The Watchpoint you set for #WORD will cause the program to stop only when #WORD is equal to 'GRADUATE!'. In this case, that will happen when #I is equal to 3. Execute the module by typing the modules name and pressing enter.

As you can see, the value of the variable #WORD is 'GRADUATE!'. Later, take a closer look at the program. You can see that #WORD has had several values since the program was initially run. The only place and time that its value was 'GRADUATE!' is when #I was valued at 3. Enter 'stop' on the command line to return to the program editor.

A FEW ADDITIONAL NOTES The hardest thing to remember is to turn the Debugger on. If you run a program and are not hitting any of your break points, go to Debug and insure that Test Mode (upper left corner) is set to on. You can also turn it on or off by entering 'debug on' or debug off' at the NEXT prompt or editor command line. When you see PF3 equal to 'Exit', this key always takes you back a screen. When you see PF2 equal to 'Step', this key will single step through the program one line each time you press it. You do not have to press PF3 to go back to the List Object Source screen to single step. When you DISPLAY VARIABLE to see what the value of a variable, the program defaults to Alpha mode. The function keys PF10 and PF11 will toggle Alpha mode and Hex mode. This is also available on the Modify Watchpoint screen. When we set the variable #WORD equal to 'GRADUATE!', we could have pressed PF11 and entered 'C7D9C1C4E4C1E3C55A40' instead. This works equally well for numeric variables. These keys are also useful to see EXACTLY what is in a variable when you DISPLAY VARIABLE. On the Command Line you were asked to enter things like 'display variable #word'. You can abbreviate DISPLAY VARIABLE as DI VA. There are more commands you can use on the Command line. Ask for HELP on the Command line for a listing of the other commands. If you see a command formatted like this: DISPLAY (DI) VARIABLE (VA) var1,var2,..., the letters inside the parentheses are the abbreviations. Note: There are several screens worth of commands. This popup does not recognize the PF3 key. Just keep pressing enter until you get out. If you want to stop the debugging session at any time, entering the 'STOP' command on the Command line will always drop you out to the editor or NEXT prompt. If you want to turn the Debugger off but let the program continue to run, enter the 'RUN' command on the Command line. This has the same effect as entering a 'T' in the Code field on the Debug Main Menu.

Page 12

NOTE!: The Debugger does not cross libraries. If you want to use it on a module, the module must be in the library you are working in. If you are single stepping through a program and you attempt to single step into another module (CALLNAT, FETCH, ETC) and the called module source AND object is not in your library, you will abend. If it is not necessary to go into this secondary program, set another Breakpoint on the line after the CALLNAT then, enter 'GO' on the Command line. Natural will still execute the secondary program but, Debug will not notice the secondary program.
