I have somehow gotten my NetExpress COBOL programs to stop, as if there were a breakpoint set in them, at the beginning of every program called.  I do not want this to happen, but I can't find doc on what caused it and how to change it back so that animation only stops at breakpoints that have been set.  Thanks.

Check to see if you are compiling using the INITCALL"CBL_DEBUGREAK" directive.

This causes the program to start the animator when run.

Also setting the environment variable COBSW= A before starting your application will have the same effect.

You can check if program breakpoints are set in the NX IDE under Animate-->Breakpoiint-->Program.

Thanks.

The INITCALL"CBL_DEBUGREAK" directive was it.  I had put it in when trying to set a breakpoint in netexpress when running from a VB.net GUI.

Thanks.
