DEBUG

Syntax

   DEBUG

or

   RUN PROGNAME;DEBUG

Operation

System programmers use DEBUG to set breakpoints within programs and to display and modify data stacks and registers.

To use the DEBUG utility, you must have privileged mode (PM) capability. However, the ;DEBUG option of the RUN command is available to anybody and allows users to debug their applications.

	CAUTION: Normal MPE safeguards are bypassed in privileged mode. When attempting to modify privileged data on disk, it is possible to destroy file integrity, or the MPE operating system itself. Hewlett-Packard is not responsible for changes that you make to the operating system or system files. For more information, talk to your Hewlett-Packard service representative.
