Once in the debugger, the current value of any variable may be examined (and optionally changed) using the forms:
| */var | Accesses a plain variable and displays its current value. |
| */var [position,length] | Accesses a string of length characters starting from character position in the string specified in position. |
| */dim.array.var(row) | Accesses a single-dimensioned array variable. With the subscript designated, only that element displays. |
| */dim.array.var | If a dimensioned array is referenced without a subscript, each element displays. To exit this display without stepping through all of the elements, press BREAK, or enter any non-null value. |
| */dim.array.var(row,col) | Accesses a specific location of a two-dimensional array. See the above form for array references without subscripts. |
| */dyn.array.var <(amc{,vmc{,svm}})> | Accesses the specific location of a dynamic array. |
| */* | Displays the current assignment of every variable in the program. |
In general, access types can be combined, as in:
*/ var{(row{,col})}{< amc{,vmc{,svm}}>}{[position, length]}
In each of the above cases (except the * form), the operator is given the opportunity to change the requested value. If you press ENTER at the = prompt, the symbol remains unchanged; otherwise, any value typed is placed into the symbol.
