Native Inspect Manual (H06.13+, J06.03+)

Considerations
The currently selected frame (specified in the frame command) is distinguished from the current
program location (the frame at which execution is suspended), subject to the following conditions:
• Most Native Inspect commands operate on the currently selected frame.
• Execution-control commands, such as step and next, operate on the current program location.
• For COBOL programs, the CALL stack records the history of active program unit invocations.
By default, Native Inspect shows the program state relative to the most recently invoked
program unit.
• You can use the frame command to view program state relative to some other frame.
NOTE: PERFORM invocations are not listed on the CALL stack.
Examples
• To display the current frame:
(eInspect 6,679): frame
#0 test_complexTypes() () at \SYS04.$D0117.SYMBAT1.SCXXTST:424
424 printf( "%s test_complexTypes\n", getStepPrefix( 1 ) );
• To display frame number 1:
(eInspect 6,679): frame 1
#1 0x70001570:0 in main (argc=1, argv=0x8003010)
at \SYS04.$D0117.SYMBAT1.SCXXTST:218
218 test_complexTypes();
help Command, help Option
Displays information about commands of Native Inspect. The online help for Native Inspect has
been inherited from its WDG/GDB parents and thus provides somewhat different information than
that provided in this manual.
FunctionCommand or Option
Takes several arguments and displays syntax, explanation, and examples according to the
options you specify.
help command
Takes no arguments and displays the syntax of all the command-line options nocstm and
version. (See nocstm Option and version Option).
help command-line
option (--help)
help [command]
Where:
help
entered with no options at the Native Inspect prompt, displays a list of general classes of Native
Inspect commands for which you can display help.
command
The name of a Native Inspect command for which you want to display help.
Examples
