I'd like to animate a cobol program and stop animation on a field value change - i think the documentation says to do a breakpoint until - but I don't see how to set this up while animating... the field value into the program is "2000089" - it would change to some other value like "200089.0000"
if it's thru the 'B'reak - that sub menu shows me set, unset, cancel-all, examine, if, do, on-count, zoom
not sure where/how to find until
anyone know how to do

What product is it that you are using?
Posting this for Dan Wright:
Assuming you are asking about the Animator in Server Express, you cannot set a global break condition (i.e. unassociated with a particular statement in the Procedure Division), where execution would stop whenever the value of a data-item changes. This was a feature of earlier releases of MF COBOL, such as Workbench and Object COBOL Developer's Suite, but it's not in Server Express.
Instead, you will have to set a breakpoint on a particular statement, using the If option in the Breakbpoint menu. Execution will break on that statement if/when:
That statement is reached, and the condition is met.
Thanks.
