Set Unconditional Breakpoints at Paragraph Names

To set breakpoints at all procedures and all labels

1. To set unconditional breakpoints at all Procedure Names and All Labels, display the Cross Reference Table using Option # 1 (or L .DX command), type a U next to the DCL heading line, and press Enter.

   A message prompts you to confirm the request for setting many breakpoints by pressing PF3.

   It is easy to set unconditional breakpoints at all or selected paragraph names from the Procedure Names section.

2. To display the Procedure Names, type l .px in the command line or a 7 in the Option # field on the Source Listing screen, as shown next, and press Enter.

   CA InterTest displays the Procedure Names section.

3. Type a u to the left of the paragraph names for which you want to set unconditional breakpoints. You can also type a u on the PROCEDURE NAMES line, to set breakpoints at all paragraph names, as shown in the following screen:

   Program= COBDEMO Option #       Stmt #                             Margin= 01  
                                           Search=

   .                                 
   

4. To remove the breakpoints, overtype the U with x. You can also remove the breakpoints from the Monitoring Status display.

   Note: A message warns you if your specification sets more than 20 breakpoints. You can then either confirm or cancel the breakpoints.
