The SET STEP command establishes default qualifiers for subsequent STEP commands. The parameters that you specify in the SET STEP command have the same names as the qualifiers for the STEP command. The following parameters affect where the STEP command suspends execution after a step: BRANCH CALL EXCEPTION INSTRUCTION LINE RETURN SEMANTIC_EVENT (Alpha only) The following parameters affect what output is seen when a STEP command is executed: [NO]SILENT [NO]SOURCE The following parameters affect what happens at a routine call: INTO OVER [NO]SHARE [NO]SYSTEM You can override the current STEP defaults for the duration of a single STEP command by specifying other qualifiers. Use the SHOW STEP command to identify the current STEP defaults. Enabling screen mode by pressing PF1-PF3 enters the SET STEP NOSOURCE command as well as the SET MODE SCREEN command. Therefore, any display of source code in output and DO displays that would result from a STEP command or from a breakpoint, tracepoint, or watchpoint being triggered is suppressed, to eliminate redundancy with the source display.
