Watching program data items: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:13, 1 November 2022

The Watch Window box can display the current value of one or more program code data items. It is located in the lower right corner of the main window, unless it is opened in a separate window external to the Client.

The Watch Window is updated as the program runs, each time execution is paused by the Debugger. If the value of a watched item is changed by the last statement execution, it is highlighted:

The following types of items can be “watched”:

%variable scalar values (for example: %x, %y)
Elements of %variable arrays (for example: %names(%I), %names(34))
Image items (including image array elements) (for example: %input:name)
Global variables
Database fields
Model 204 parameters
Elements of $lists and Stringlist and Arraylist objects
Counts of items in a $list or Stringlist or Arraylist
Certain $function calls: $STATUS and $STATUSD, $CURREC, $FIELDGROUPID, and $FIELDGROUPOCCURRENCE
Structure elements (for example: %address:city)
Object variables (for example: %xmlInput:serial)

These subsections follow:

Adding and removing Watch Window items

Saving and restoring Watch Window contents

Getting a detailed view of the value of a watched item

Watching Model 204 fields

Watching global variables

Watching object variables

Watching $lists and Stringlists

Watching class member variables
