Overview of Using the Siebel Debugger

The Siebel Debugger can help you edit a script and remove an error from a script that you write in Siebel VB or Siebel eScript. It displays variables and their values in the Siebel Script Editor window and a diagnostic window. You can use it to slow down or suspend a script from running so that you can monitor the logical flow of your script and to examine the contents of variables. You can use the Siebel Debugger to do the following:

• Set a breakpoint. Allows you to use the Debugger so that you can examine the state of the program that exists at this line. For more information, see Using Breakpoints.
• Step over a line of code. For example, if the current code line calls a subroutine, then the Debugger skips this line and stops at the next line. It does not call the subroutine.
• Step into a subroutine. Runs one line of code according to the following:
  • The current line calls a subroutine or function. The Debugger stops at the first line of the subroutine or function that the current line calls.
  • The current line does not call a subroutine or function. The Debugger stops at the next code line.
• Examine the value of a variable. The Siebel Debugger includes a Watch window that displays variables and their values. You can examine these values while a script runs.
