E command (DataBasic debugger) (m618706+e.htm)
Creates a break in program execution after a defined number of instructions.
E{n}
n is a cardinal number defining the number of instruction lines that will be executed before a break occurs.
En causes a break to occur after each n instructions. E alone turns off the function.
By setting E1 and N0 you can single-step though a code module. When single-stepping, the debugger ignores all comment lines, including any NULL statement, REM statement (or equivalent) or any complier directive (for example, an EQUATE statement).
Input Break: TEST 0022 *E6*GExecution Count: TEST 0028 *
The DataBasic debugger is entered when line 22 is about to be executed. The E command is entered to cause a break after every six lines of instructions. The G command resumed program execution and a break occurred six lines later.
