HP Transact Reference Manual

STEP 

Continues execution of the Transact/iX program for a specified number of
statements.

Syntax 

{STEP} [number_of_steps]
{S   }
Parameters 

number_of_steps  The desired number of Transact statements to execute
                 until control returns to TRANDEBUG. The default value of
                 1 is used if you omit this parameter.

Discussion 

This command allows you to single-step through the execution of a program
on a statement-by-statement basis.  This allows you to check item values
and register values after each statement has executed.  As you stop at
each statement, the p-code offset and segment number for that statement
is displayed.

Example 

The following example shows how to use the STEP command and the TRACE
CODE command in conjunction with STEP.

     TRANDEBUG> STEP 

                EXECUTION STOPPED:

                   SYSTEM          SEGMENT       OFFSET
                   ------------------------------------
                   PARENT                0           28

     TRANDEBUG> STEP 5 

                EXECUTION STOPPED:

                    SYSTEM          SEGMENT       OFFSET
                    ------------------------------------
                    PARENT                1           56

     TRANDEBUG> TRACE CODE ON 

     TRANDEBUG> STEP 5 

                  EXECUTION TRACE:
                     SYSTEM          SEGMENT       OFFSET
                     ------------------------------------
                     PARENT                0           28
