Invoking Pretty-Printing

Pretty-print functions are invoked for the following:

  • print –p or if the dbxenv variable output_pretty_print is set to on.

  • display –p or if the dbxenv variable output_pretty_print is set to on.

  • watch –p or if the dbxenv variable output_pretty_print is set to on.

  • Balloon evaluation if the dbxenv variable output_pretty_print is set to on.

  • Local variable if the dbxenv variable output_pretty_print is set to on.

Pretty-print functions are not invoked for the following:

  • $[]. $[] is intended to be used in scripts, therefore the scripts should be predictable.

  • The dump command. dump uses the same simplified formatting as the where command, which might be converted to use pretty-printing in later releases. This limitation does not apply to the Local Variables window in the IDE.
