Set Unconditional Breakpoints

You can add unconditional breakpoints to statements within the source code section. You can only add breakpoints to statements that are executable statements. You cannot add a breakpoint to a source code comment statement or to a statement outside the compiler's source code section.

Set a Line Unconditional Breakpoint

You can set line unconditional breakpoints at the statement in an active program listing.

To add an unconditional breakpoint for a statement

1. Select Window, Show Views, InterTest Debug.

   The InterTest Debug view opens.

2. Double-click the program to which you want to add breakpoints.

   The program opens in the Program Listing area.

3. Position the program using the Outline view, so that the line where you want to add the breakpoint is positioned in the Program Listing area.
4. Select the line where you want to add the breakpoint.
5. Right-click the ruler to the left of the line, and select Add Breakpoint.

   A blue circle appears next to the statement in the left ruler. A dark-blue mark appears in the ruler to the right of the scroll bar. This indicates that a new breakpoint is set at the selected statement.

To add an unconditional breakpoint with options for a statement

1. Double-click the ruler to the left of the statement to receive the breakpoint.

   The Add a Line Breakpoint dialog opens.

2. Complete the following fields in the Add a Line Breakpoint dialog to set a line unconditional breakpoint:
   • Stop after execution

     Specifies that the condition will be tested after the statement is executed. Check the box if you want to use this option.

     The condition is tested before executing the statement by default.

   • Skip Count

     Specifies the number of times a statement is to be executed before it is stopped for the breakpoint. Type any value in this field.

   Default: 0

3. Click Finish.
