Using PeopleCode Debugger Options

Exits debug mode. When you exit debug mode, all breakpoints are automatically saved. If you close Application Designer, you automatically exit debug mode.

Stops the PeopleCode program that is currently running.

Displays the location of the running code in a dialog box. This display includes the record name, field name, event name, and line number of the code. It also indicates if the code is executing on the client or server. You can view the exact code by clicking View Code.

Pauses execution of the component on the first line of every PeopleCode program that executes in the component. If you start a component with Break at Start selected and then you start a second component, the PeopleCode associated with the second component is stopped at the first line of the first PeopleCode program as well, as part of the same debugging session.

Removes the breakpoint if the line the cursor is currently on has a breakpoint. Adds a breakpoint if the line the cursor is currently on does not have a breakpoint.

Opens a dialog box that displays the lines that have breakpoints. From this dialog box, you can display the code that contains the breakpoint by clicking View Code. You can also remove one or all breakpoints.

Continues processing until the next breakpoint. If Break At Start is enabled, processing pauses at the next PeopleCode program.

Executes the current line of the PeopleCode program, stepping into functions.

Steps through each line of the PeopleCode program, one line at a time, but steps over the functions; the functions are executed, but not stepped into.

Processes past the return of the current function, and then pauses.

Processes low-level, pseudo-machine code instructions internal to PeopleCode. This option is used in conjunction with Log Options.

Opens a separate window for viewing the call stack. The Call Stack window displays a stack of PeopleCode functions and methods that are currently active but not completed. You can use the Call Stack window to observe the flow of an application as it executes a series of nested functions.

Opens a separate window for watching global variables.

Opens a separate window for watching component variables.

Opens a separate window for watching local variables.

Opens a separate window for watching user-specified parameters in function calls.

Opens a separate window for viewing the current component buffers. This is equivalent to getting a level zero rowset for the component.

Enables you to select between opening a dialog box for general options or for specifying log options.

If you select this check box and you click a plus symbol next to a variable name in a view window, the variable you clicked scrolls to the top of the window.

Select to display all view windows with a smaller font.
