DEBUG MODIFY The DEBUG MODIFY command modifies the value of a variable in an NCL process.
The variable must exist before you attempt to modify it. You cannot use this
command to create variables.
You can use this command to modify simple, stem, compound, nested, MDO, global,
and some system variables (those to which you can assign values—these are
&SYS.LOOPCTL, &SYS.RETCODE, &SYS.PANEL.FLD, and &SYS.PANEL.SKIP).
DEBUG MODIFY [ ID= ncl-id ]

{ VAR | VBL }= variable-name
VAL[ = value ]
ID= ncl-id
specifies the NCL process identifier (NCL ID) of an NCL process and sets the
current NCL process. If you do not specify an NCL ID, the default NCL ID is
assumed (see the DEBUG START command for further information about the
default NCL ID).
FORMAT
specifies the format of the value specified by the VAL operand.
NORMAL
specifies the value is in normal (nonbinary) format.
BINARY
specifies the value is in binary (hexadecimal) format.
SCOPE
specifies a nesting level. NCL modifies the variable at the specified nesting level.
0
specifies the current nesting level.
nesting-level
specifies the nesting level of a caller procedure or function.
A nesting level of 1 specifies the immediate caller, a nesting level of 2 specifies
the caller of that caller, a nesting level of 3 specifies the caller of that caller, and
so on.
