S, SS

Syntax

    S[S]  [num_instrs] [ L[OUD] | Q[UIET] ]

This command single steps the specified number of instructions. If the user attempts to single step into the system NL or SL (or any portion of code he/she does not have access to view), Debug stops single stepping and free-runs the process (for example, proceed as if the CONTINUE command had been issued). For native mode processes, Debug stops processing as soon as it returns from the inaccessible code. For compatibility mode processes, the process continues to run until it encounters a breakpoint.

Examples

   %cmdebug > s

   %cmdebug > 

Single step to the next instruction.

   %cmdebug > ss 5 l

   Step to: PROG %0.172

   %cmdebug > 

Step 5 instructions "loudly", that is, print the ending address.

   $nmdebug > s #20 l

   Step to: 115.00005f0c processstudent+$1e8

   $nmdebug > 

Step 20 instructions, and print the address when stopped.

Limitations, Restrictions

The single step command cannot be used within a macro that is invoked as a function.

	CAUTION: The output format of all System Debug commands is subject to change without notice. Programs that are developed to postprocess System Debug output should not depend on the exact format (spacing, alignment, number of lines, uppercase or lowercase, or spelling) of any System Debug command output.
