What You Can Do at a Breakpoint

When your program is stopped at a breakpoint, you can do the following:

• Examine the source listing
• Inspect and modify main storage
• Inspect and modify auxiliary storage
• Set and remove breakpoints
• Examine the backtrace
• Keep variables in the Keep window to observe changes in their values
• Set and remove monitoring options
• Specify indirect commands
• Resume execution
• Abend the task

We have already discussed how you can examine your source listing. The other breakpoint activities are discussed in this and the next chapter.
