Using Breakpoints › Conditional Breakpoints › Set Conditional Breakpoints from the Source Listing › Example

Example

The following screen shows how to set a conditional breakpoint in a COBOL program:

• The left side of the comparison specifies the data name TOLEN.
• The relational operator is LT (less than).
• The right side of the comparison specifies the literal 80.

           CA InterTest MONITORING COMMAND BUILDER  CONDITIONAL BREAKPOINT

This breakpoint takes effect only if the value in the data name TOLEN is less than 80. The breakpoint locations are all the instructions, as previously specified on the Conditional Locations screen.
