Using Breakpoints › Conditional Breakpoints › The Detailed Conditional Breakpoint Screen

The Detailed Conditional Breakpoint Screen

Assembler and PL/I users who want to specify conditional breakpoints should complete the Conditional Locations screen and press Enter, the Conditional Breakpoint screen appears. COBOL users access this screen by pressing PF9 from the COBOL Conditional Breakpoint screen.

Enter LEFT SIDE of condition

Specifies the left side of the comparison that must be an area of core. Enter information in one of the following fields:

• Data name
• Register
• COBOL BLL cell
• Area identified by a CORE keyword

Enter OPERATOR

Specifies the relational operator:

• EQ for equal
• NE for not equal
• GT for greater than
• LT for less than
• GE for greater than or equal to
• LE for less than or equal to

Length

Optionally define the length of the left side or right side of the comparison. (See the Length of the Comparison section for details.)

Enter RIGHT SIDE of condition

Specifies the right side of the comparison, which is an area of core or a literal. Enter information in one of these five fields: a data name, a register, a COBOL BLL cell, an area identified by a CORE keyword, or a literal. For more information, see the CORE Keywords section and the Literal Formats section later in this chapter.

Optional offset

Optionally adjusts a CORE location by specifying offsets (displacements). Each offset must be preceded by one of the following operands:

• +
• ‑
• @–Indirect addressing below the 16‑megabyte line
• %–Indirect addressing above the 16‑megabyte line (XA systems only)

Note: Literals cannot be modified by offsets.
