Set and Clear Breakpoints
- Working in the code display window, select the statement line where the breakpoint is to be set.
Only executable statements may have breakpoints. You cannot set one on variable declarations, state names, brackets, or comments. - Click the Toggle Breakpoint tool or press F9.
An orange dot will be added beside the selected statement and a matching entry will be added to the breakpoints list.
Find code that has a breakpoint:
You can set breakpoints in several modules. Often, modules are long, and you may scroll well away from the statement where the breakpoint is set. In either case, you can reload the code display window by double-clicking the breakpoint in the breakpoints list.
Clear a breakpoint:
- Select the breakpoint, working either in the code display window or the breakpoints list.
- Click the Toggle Breakpoint tool or press F9.
Changing code when breakpoints are set:
If you edit and compile a module, within which a breakpoint is set, the breakpoint may shift to another statement. If you delete the module within which a breakpoint is set, it will disappear.
