Description

This command provides a pop-up debugger for debugging programs. The commands COMPILE and DEVELOPMENT must be set OFF when using SET STEP ON. The SET STEP ON command displays a pop-up debugger with the specified program or procedure. The pop-up program debugger can also be activated with the DEBUG command. When the DEBUG command is used, SET COMPILE does not have to be OFF as this is handled automatically. You must, however, load procedure libraries with SET COMPILE OFF when you are debugging a procedure. By default, STEP is OFF.

Example

set echo on
set step on
do testprg
