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.
