Data Field Names

When debugging a dialog during runtime, you can reference a specific data field.

Syntax

This is a summary of syntax for the use of data field names:

►►──── data-field-name ─┬──────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────►◄
                        ├─ IN ─┬─ record-name ─┘
                        └─ OF ─┘

Parameters

data-field-name

Specifies the data field to be displayed. The name must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains embedded delimiters. The data field name must be qualified if it is not unique to the process.

IN/OF record-name

Specifies the name of the record associated with the data field being requested. The record name must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains embedded delimiters.

For a complete list of the delimiters used in debugger commands, see Delimiters.

You cannot list or set data fields during the setup phase of a debugger session. If you try to, the debugger issues an error message, as in this example:

DEBUG >
list date

DC704900 LIST > DATE CANNOT BE RESOLVED
LIST DATE
DEBUG >
