hi,
How do you get the Break on Data Change option for Variables in Unix version of Net Express 5.1 ?, I am able to use the option in the Windows version of the same. Scouring the Internet and Documentation from the Micro focus Website, i found the following Commands.
| Monitor |
Q, C, F4 |
| Monitor Break Change |
Q, C, Ctrl F4 |
| Monitor Fixed |
Q, C, Ctrl F5 |
I am able to use the Monitor Feature, but the remaining two commands only does a Step into and does not Break on changed Value.
#Monitor#breakpoint#animation#NetExpress5.1#unixIn the Linux/UNIX character mode Animator, 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.
The closest thing is setting a breakpoint on a particular statement, using the If option in the Breakbpoint menu. Execution will break on that statement if/when the statement is reached and the condition is met. But the condition is tested only on occasions when the statement is reached.
