Step 3 Use Break on Value Condition

Step 3. Use Break on Value Condition

WAM055 - Using LANSA Debug

A breakpoint may have a variable value associated with it, meaning that that debug will break at this statement only when the value condition is true. To set a break on value condition you must first run the WAM in debug mode with a breakpoint set for the statement required. While running in debug. Select the Variable tab, select a variable and define a Break on value condition for this variable. This condition will be saved until it is removed. Continue running the WAM in debug mode and this statement will now break only when the variable's Break on value condition is true.

At this point your WAM iiiSecMaint should have a breakpoint defined on the statement:

Add_Entry To_List(#sectlist)

1.  First run the WAM normally (not in debug mode) and review the list of section codes for the department you are using, for example ADM. Decide which section code value you want to break on, for example SECTION = 05.

2.  Run the WAM again, this time in debug mode, enter a department code and click the Select button.

3.  When debug breaks on the ADD_ENTRY statement select the field SECTION on the Variables tab and use the context menu to set the Break on Value condition:

4.  Set the condition to SECTION = 05 (or your chosen value).

5.  Click OK to save the condition and press F5 to continue running the WAM. The breakpoint will next occur when SECTION has the chosen value.

      The variable is highlighted on the Variables tab to show it has a Break on Value setting.
