After you set a breakpoint, you can deactivate it, activate it, or
cancel it.
Deactivating a breakpoint causes the debugger to ignore it during
program execution. However, the debugger keeps the breakpoint listed
in the breakpoint view so that you can activate it at a later time, for
example, when you rerun the program. Note the following points:
- To deactivate a specific breakpoint, clear the button for that
breakpoint in the source view, the instruction code display, or in
the breakpoint view.
In the breakpoint view, you can also choose Toggle from the Break
menu, if the breakpoint is currently activated.
- To deactivate all breakpoints, choose Deactivate All from the Break
menu on the main, instruction, or optional view window.
Activating a breakpoint causes it to take effect during program
execution:
- To activate a breakpoint, click on the button for that breakpoint
in the source view, instruction code display, or in the breakpoint
view.
In the breakpoint view, you can also choose Toggle from the Break
menu, if the breakpoint is currently deactivated.
- To activate all breakpoints, choose Activate All from the Break
menu on the main, instruction, or optional view window.
Canceling a breakpoint causes all information about the breakpoint to
be lost. Once you cancel a breakpoint, you cannot later reactivate it,
but must again explicitly set the breakpoint. Note the following
points:
- To cancel a specific breakpoint, choose Cancel from the Break menu
on the optional view window.
- To cancel all breakpoints, choose Cancel All from the Break menu on
the main, instruction, or optional view window.
