Debugging is the process of locating and eliminating errors—bugs—from an application. Use the dBASE Plus Debugger to repair broken code and resolve problems in your forms, reports and programs.

With the Debugger you can

Load and debug multiple files.

Control program execution by stepping through an entire program line by line or skipping to defined breakpoints.

Monitor the values of variables, fields, and objects. You can even make temporary changes for testing purposes, and then update your code using the dBASE Plus Source editor.

View subroutines (methods, procedures, and functions) that the main program calls, and track the points at which each is called.

Stop program execution at any point, or run full-speed to the cursor position.

Run the Debugger as a standalone application to debug compiled programs.
