Setting and Removing Breakpoints
is encountered. The relational operators supported for conditional breakpoints are
noted at the beginning of this section.
In non-numeric conditional breakpoint expressions, the shorter expression is implic-
itly padded with blanks before the comparison is made. This implicit padding occurs
before any National Language Sort Sequence (NLSS) translation. See “National
Language Sort Sequence (NLSS)” on page 183 for more information on NLSS.
To remove a conditional breakpoint using the CLEAR debug command, type:
CLEAR line-number
on the debug command line. The variable
line-number
is the line number in the
currently displayed view of the module object from which you want to remove a
breakpoint.
Example of Setting a Conditional Job Breakpoint Using F13
In this example you set a conditional job breakpoint using F13 (Work with module
breakpoints).
1. To set a conditional job breakpoint press F13 (Work with module breakpoints).
The Work with Module Breakpoints display is shown.
2. On this display type 1 (Add) on the first line of the list to add a conditional
breakpoint.
3. To set a conditional breakpoint at line 127 when *IN02='1', type 127 for the
Line
field, *IN02='1' for the
Condition
field.
| 4. If a thread column is shown, before pressing Enter, type *JOB in the thread
| field.
Figure 82 shows the Work with Module Breakpoints display after adding the
conditional breakpoint.

Figure 82. Setting a Conditional Job Breakpoint
A conditional job breakpoint is set on line 127. The expression is evaluated
before the statement is run. If the result is true (in the example, if *IN02='1'),
the program stops, and the Display Module Source display is shown. If the
result is false, the program continues to run.
An existing breakpoint is always replaced by a new breakpoint entered at the
same location.
