Attach the Indirect Command to Breakpoints

To have the indirect commands automatically executed by your program, set an unconditional, conditional, or request breakpoint that points to the first indirect command statement number. When you set a breakpoint with this option, each time the breakpoint takes effect the indirect commands execute.

From the Source Listing facility, set the unconditional or conditional breakpoint as follows:

1. Display the line in your Source Code where you want to set the breakpoint to execute the indirect commands.
2. Type BPO in the command line or 12 in the Option # field (Breakpoint Options), tab down to the line where you want to set the breakpoint, type u for unconditional or c for conditional, and press Enter. The Breakpoint Locations menu appears, letting you set a number of breakpoint options.
3. Tab to the following option near the bottom of the panel:

   Statement no. of indirect command(s) to be executed:     _____
   

4. Type the first indirect command statement number (leading zeroes are optional), as shown in the following screen.

5. Press Enter to process this menu.
6. If you are setting a conditional breakpoint, type the condition on the Conditional Breakpoint screen and press Enter.

   Your Source Listing display shows the indirect command to execute on the line above the statement with the U or C indicator.

7. To set a request breakpoint that executes an indirect command, follow the usual steps to set the request breakpoint from the menus. On the Request Breakpoint Selection menu, also type the statement number of the indirect command to be executed, as shown in the following screen.
