APPX GUI ILF Debugger

Effective with Release 5.0.0, the ILF Debugger has been replaced with a new GUI ILF Debugger.

APPX GUI ILF Debugger

The GUI ILF Debugger is invoked automatically when ILF code is displayed at run time. ILF line(s) of code that are set for trapping will be marked with the red and white icon and the entire line will be have a pink background. The next ILF line to be executed is marked with a blue and white icon and the line will have a blue background. Traps may be set at run time by clicking on the desired line and then clicking on the Trap icon on the Toolbar.

Toolbar Buttons

Go - Resume normal execution

Main Debugger Window

Identifies the next ILF command line to execute.

The Toolbar contains several new icons. The Green Arrow will jump out of the trapped event point . The Red X will cancel the process as always. Single step will execute the next sequential instruction, same a the Return key. The Step Into will follow a child process. Step Return takes you to the next Return statement. There is a red/gray icon you can use to set and remove a trap. F3 can still be used to set and un-set traps as well. The Edit values icon will allow the current field value(s) to be modified. Inspect/Edit will allow you to enter a field and see its contents. View Process Stack will display the current process stack showing the Ap/Ver, Proc Type, Process Name, and invocation share class. Watch Variable allow you enter a field name and Appx will indicate when the contents of that field change.

Scrolling the ILF Debugger using the up and down arrow keys is not permitted.
