The Debug toolbar buttons are enabled when an application is running in debug mode. Use the buttons to execute various debug actions while debugging. The debug actions are:
Go |
Starts or resumes program execution in debug mode until the currently executing thread of execution either terminates or is interrupted by a breakpoint. |
Step Into |
Executes the current source line and advances to the next executable line. Use to advance program execution line-by-line and to step into nested subprogram calls. |
Step Over |
Executes the current source line and advances to the next executable line, stepping over any calls to nested subprograms. |
Step Out |
Resumes and completes execution of a nested subprogram, suspending at the next executable statement in the calling program. This command allows you to quickly finish executing the current subprogram after determining that a bug is not present in the subprogram. |
Go |
Starts or resumes program execution in debug mode until the currently executing thread of execution either terminates or is interrupted by a breakpoint. |
Pause |
Suspends execution of a module running in debug mode. The debug windows are populated with the information relevant to the current execution context. If the module is executing PL/SQL, the PL/SQL Editor opens and displays the source unit at which suspension occurred. |
Stop |
Terminates the debugging session and exits from the running program. The Debug Console and any floating debug windows close. |
Note: Step Into, Step Over, and Step Out have the same effect unless the program has nested subprogram calls.
