Chapter 4-5: The Debugger

Step/End

This option allows you to step directly to the end of the current event point. All statements from the current statement line up to (but not including) the last statement in an event point execute. At this point, using return executes the final statement and moves you directly to the first statement in the next logical event point of the current process. This sequence (step/end followed by return) effectively continues a trap operation, even if there are no more break points in subsequent event points of a process. It allows you to continue your testing procedure without having to leave the debugger to set additional break points.

You can proceed through all the event points of a process in the same manner. While in the second and subsequent routines, you can perform all normal debugging operations, such as setting additional break points and modifying field values. To leave the debugging facility, simply select go to move to the normal end of a process.
