Stepping through the Program
The debugger lets you step through a program one (or more) statements at
a time. If you're in disassembly mode, you execute one or more machine
instructions; if you're in source mode, you execute one or more source
statements. If you're in split-screen mode, the single step mode
(symbolic or assembly) is indicated on the highlighted line separating
the source window from the assembly window.
Stepping lets you closely examine program execution. During stepping,
you can display and alter variables or perform other tasks.
The following command executes the next six statements (or machine
instructions) then pauses:
>s 6
To repeat the step command, press RETURN or type a tilde (~) followed by
RETURN.
If the program contains procedure calls and you do not want to step
through the code in the procedures themselves individually, use the S
(Step) command. The procedure call statements (or instructions) are
treated as one step. To single step through a program and to treat
procedure calls as one step, enter:
>S
