/sys$common/syshlp/DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  DEACTIVATE  BREAK
    Deactivates a breakpoint, which you can later activate.

    Format

      DEACTIVATE BREAK  [address-expression[, . . . ]]

1  –  Parameters 

 address-expression

    Specifies a breakpoint to be deactivated. Do not use the asterisk
    (*)  wildcard character. Instead, use the /ALL qualifier. Do not
    specify an address expression when using any qualifiers except
    /EVENT, /PREDEFINED, or /USER.

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /ACTIVATING 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/ACTIVATING command.

2.2    /ALL 

    By default, deactivates all user-defined breakpoints. When used
    with /PREDEFINED, deactivates all predefined breakpoints but
    no user-defined breakpoints. To deactivate all breakpoints, use
    /ALL/USER/PREDEFINED.

2.3    /BRANCH 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/BRANCH command.

2.4    /CALL 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/CALL
    command.

2.5    /EVENT 

       /EVENT=event-name

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/EVENT=event-name command. Specify the event name (and
    address expression, if any) exactly as specified with the SET
    BREAK/EVENT command.

    To identify the current event facility and the associated event
    names, use the SHOW EVENT_FACILITY command.

2.6    /EXCEPTION 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/EXCEPTION command.

2.7    /HANDLER 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/HANDLER command.

2.8    /INSTRUCTION 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/INSTRUCTION command.

2.9    /LINE 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/LINE
    command.

2.10    /PREDEFINED 

    Deactivates a specified predefined breakpoint without affecting
    any user-defined breakpoints. When used with /ALL, deactivates
    all predefined breakpoints.

2.11    /SYSEMULATE 

    (Alpha only) Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous
    SET BREAK/SYSEMULATE command.

2.12    /TERMINATING 

    Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET
    BREAK/TERMINATING command.

2.13    /UNALIGNED_DATA 

    (Alpha only) Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous
    SET BREAK/UNALIGNED_DATA command.

2.14    /USER 

    Deactivates a specified user-defined breakpoint. To deactivate
    all user-defined breakpoints, use the /ALL qualifier.

3  –  Description 

    User-defined breakpoints are activated when you set them with
    the SET BREAK command. Predefined breakpoints are activated by
    default. Use the DEACTIVATE BREAK command to deactivate one or
    more breakpoints.

    If you deactivate a breakpoint, the debugger ignores the
    breakpoint during program execution. To activate a deactivated
    breakpoint, use the ACTIVATE BREAK command. You can activate and
    deactivate user-defined and predefined breakpoints separately.
    Activating and deactivating breakpoints enables you to run and
    rerun your program with or without breakpoints without having to
    cancel and then reset them. By default, the RERUN command saves
    the current state of all breakpoints (activated or deactivated).

    To check if a breakpoint is deactivated, use the SHOW BREAK
    command.
