Chapter 4-5: The Debugger

  Add Mode

Select this icon to change the point of execution. While you are stepping through ILF code, the debugger highlights the next statement that will be executed. If you position the cursor to another executable line of ILF code and select the add mode option, then that line will become highlighted and will be the next line executed. You can use this feature to skip sections of code, change a value and repeat a test, or step into a normally unreachable section of code. Care must be taken not to introduce logic problems such as executing an END READ without having executed the corresponding BEG READ first.

Restrictions to the add mode option are as follows:

·    You cannot change your point of execution if you are currently stopped at a TRAP statement.

·    You cannot change your point of execution to continue with a LABEL or comment (*) statement.
