basic.debug

Statement/BASIC Program, Releases: AP and R83

Invokes Pick/BASIC debugger.

Description

temporarily suspends execution of a Pick/BASIC program and invokes the Pick/BASIC debugger.

The program may also be 'run' with the 'd' option, or, if cataloged, activated with a 'd' option. (see 'run' and 'catalog')

The 'g' command in the Pick/BASIC debugger returns control to the Pick/BASIC program and continues execution at the next executable statement in the program.

Example

crt 'Command ':
input response
if response = 'd' then debug
