Modify Variables in the Auto Data View

You can modify the values of variables displayed in the Auto Data view during a debug session. Ensure that the Auto Data view is visible on the CA InterTest main window. If not, display the view.

Note: If data monitoring is in effect then you will not be able to modify the data values when you navigate the trace table.

You can modify data in the Auto Data view using the following ways:

• In-line editing

  You can edit data in the hex value column for the variable, and in the display value column for elementary program variables.

• Data View Value dialog

To modify the value of a variable in-line

1. Click the cell (hex or display column) you want to update for the variable.
2. Overtype the existing value. Use the left and right arrow keys to position the cursor.
3. Press the tab key, Enter key, or click anywhere in the view to exit the cell.

   After you depart the cell, the changes will be sent to the mainframe, and all related data views are updated.

To modify the value of a variable using Data View Value dialog

1. Double-click the variable that you want to modify in the selected view.

   The Data View Value dialog opens.

2. Select Hex value or Display value. Enter the value in the relevant field.
3. Click OK to save the value and close the dialog.

The Auto Data view refreshes to display the modified value of the selected variable. If the variable is a group item then the Memory Dump dialog opens showing the starting address of the modified variable, by default.

Note: You can also edit the value of a variable using the Memory Dump dialog. Click the Memory Dump icon on the Data view toolbar to open the Memory Dump dialog. Edit the value and click OK to save the updated value.
