Debug Aids

Toolkit includes utilities that can greatly speed up your testing and debugging:

• A utility to change the data on any database file directly, without creating an HLL program, or DFU. Add, update, copy, delete, positioning, and formatting functions are available.
• A utility to set up debug sessions from directives contained in the source. This gives you the ability to re-instate rapidly a complicated debug environment, after recompilation or interruption. Breakpoints can be specified relative to executable statements, rather than as absolute source line numbers, and several different debug sets can be maintained.
• A utility to take a snapshot of the contents of a list of files. The snapshots can be used to establish check points for system testing, and for recovery.
