Chapter 4-5: The Debugger

Data Values Area

The data values area displays the current values for any fields that are specified in the statement that is currently highlighted in the debugging area. The highlighted statement has not yet executed, so the values reflect the last statement executed. If the current statement has no specified fields, this area is blank.

Consider the following statement example:

          COMPUTE  TAR WORK AVAILABLE CREDIT      -  TAR TRANSACT AMOUNT

The data area may look as follows, as shown in Figure 4-5-4 below:

Appl Field Name            Occ  Field Value

TAR   WORK AVAILABLE CREDIT         25000.00

TAR   TRANSACT AMOUNT               957.45

Figure 4-5-4. Data Area of a Debugger Screen

If the highlighted statement specifies only one field, the other field name and value will be blank. In the following example, only one field is referenced:

          DISPLAY  TAR WORK AVAILABLE CREDIT      (AT APPEARANCE #     )

The data area may look as follows:

Appl Field Name            Occ  Field Value

TAR   WORK AVAILABLE CREDIT         25000.00

(Line 2 is blank.)

For statements such as TRAP that have no field references at all, both field names and values are blank, as shown previously in Figure 4-5-1.
