DEBUG STEP The DEBUG STEP command resumes execution of the specified NCL process by single
or multiple statements. A single step is performed if you do not supply a step
specification. A single step means executing the next statement in the NCL process.
DEBUG STEP [ ID= ncl-id ]
[ NEXT={ IN | OUT | number } ]
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).
NEXT
specifies the number of statements to execute.
The execution of each consecutive statement is regarded as a single step. If you do
not supply a step specification, NCL executes the next consecutive statement; this
is a single step.
IN
performs a step of a single, executed statement. This steps into the next lower
procedure or function nesting level, if it exists; otherwise, it performs a single
step at the current procedure or function nesting level.
OUT
performs all the steps necessary to return to the next higher procedure or
function nesting level, that is, to the nesting level that called the current
nesting level.
number
performs the specified number of steps at the current procedure or function
nesting level or the next higher nesting level if the current nesting level
returns.
Note The DEBUG STEP NEXT=1 command is the same as the DEBUG STEP command.
