Using Debug Facilities
PARAM specifies an asterisk (*), FORTRAN does not write messages to standard 
log.
•
If an ASSIGN specifies STDERR and a PARAM specifies EXECUTION-LOG, 
FORTRAN uses the physical name from the ASSIGN unless the physical name 
specifies your home terminal, in which case FORTRAN uses the value of the 
EXECUTION-LOG PARAM or, if the EXECUTION-LOG PARAM value is an 
asterisk, FORTRAN does not open standard log.
FORTRAN does not open a Guardian file for standard log if the ASSIGN for STDERR 
specifies the process’s home terminal, and the value of the EXECUTION-LOG PARAM 
is an asterisk.
Using Debug Facilities
HP supports two debugging programs:
•
Debug—a low-level debugger
•
Inspect—an interactive, symbolic debugger
Your program uses the Debug program:
•
If you specify INSPECT OFF in the RUN or RUND command, as follows:
RUND program / INSPECT OFF/
•
By default if you have selected Inspect but the necessary support processes are 
not running on the system on which the process to be debugged is running.
You select the Inspect facility in one of the following ways:
•
By specifying the INSPECT or SAVEABEND compiler directives
?INSPECT
?SAVEABEND
•
By using the Binder SET INSPECT or SET SAVEABEND commands during a 
Binder session
SET INSPECT ON
SET SAVEABEND ON
•
By using the TACL SET INSPECT command prior to the RUN command that starts 
the process
SET INSPECT ON
•
By selecting the INSPECT ON or INSPECT SAVEABEND options of the RUN 
command when you run your program
RUND program / INSPECT ON/
