New page

__TOC__
When the program you are debugging is in a <var>Model 204</var> record context, you can view the value of any visible database field in that record by explicitly adding the field name to the <var>Watch Window.</var> The field name requires a special prefix, as described below. 

If a field name is referenced within an expression in an HTML or TEXT block in your code, you can also add it to the <var>Watch Window</var> (or display it in a <var>Value</var> window) by right clicking the code line that contains it, as described below. 

In addition, if a multiply occurring field is in a FOR EACH OCCURRENCE loop, you can [[displaying_current_occurrence.html|display its occurrence number]]. You can also display the values of all the fields in the [[display_all_fields_in_rec.html|current record]] or in the [[display_all_fields_in_rec.html#disp_fldgrps|current field group]]. 

=== Adding fields to the Watch Window ===
To watch the value of a <var>Model 204</var> field:

# Type its name preceded by F. or <var>f.</var> (for example, f.name) in the [[Entity name input box|Entity name input box]].
# Click <var>Watch</var>:

[[File:watchw2d_zoom65.gif|365x198px|watchW2d]] 

By default, the value of the first occurrence of the field is shown in the <var>Watch Window;</var> however, you may select later occurrences by subscripting the field name. For example: f.name(2) watches and displays the second occurrence of the field name, while f.name is equivalent to specifying f.name(1). 

=== Watching fields that belong to field groups ===
If you are using the <var>Model 204</var> field group feature, you can watch or display the value of fields in the current field group by preceding their name by f. 

The execution context must be a current field group (that is, within an FEO Fieldgroup loop). 

=== Watching fields specified within HTML or TEXT blocks ===
You can view the value of a <var>Model 204</var> field that is specified as an expression within a User Language HTML or TEXT statement block. In such blocks, the Client detects a field name enclosed by opening and closing braces (for example, {FIELDNAME}), and it shows you the field value if you select the <var>Add Watch</var> or <var>Display</var> right click option for a line that contains the expression.
