break command, tbreak command

Break sets an instruction breakpoint for the current process, at a specified line,

function, or address. The tbreak command is similar, but sets a temporary breakpoint

that is deleted after it is hit.

Related Commands: Use the enable command and disable command to enable and

disable breakpoints, respectively.

Aliases: b, br, bre, brea, tb

linespec

is the line number at which you want to set a breakpoint.

flags

can be either or both of:

-g

indicates a global breakpoint, which can be set only by the super ID user after

issuing the priv command.

-h

indicates a halt loop breakpoint, which can be set only by the super ID user

after issuing the priv command.

llce

is a low-level conditional expression (cannot be specified with the -h flag).

cond-exp

is a language expression that produces an integer or Boolean result.

For COBOL-specific considerations, see Evaluating Expressions on page 3-8.

Setting Conditional Breakpoints

You can set a conditional breakpoint with the break or tbreak command by

including either an llce (a low-level conditional expression, which is evaluated by

the breakpoint interrupt handler) or a source language expression (evaluated by

the debugger). In either case, the breakpoint is reported only if the expression

evaluates to True or a nonzero result. Otherwise, execution of the program

continues. For information about specifying an llce , see Syntax of llce on

page 4-8.
