Debugger Guide
Starting and Stopping the Debugger
Progress provides several different ways to start a debugging session, depending on where you are working in Progress and how you want the Debugger to interact with your application. You can start a debugging session in the following ways:
- In the Procedure Editor or AppBuilder running an initial application from an Editor or AppBuilder buffer
- From the operating system or the Application Development Environment (ADE) Desktop with no initial application running
NOTE: Using the DEBUGGER handle to start a debugging session is primarily intended for experienced Progress programmers who are writing their own Progress development tools. For more information, see DEBUGGER and SESSION System Handles."- Directly from the 4GL using the DEBUGGER system handle
When you start a debugging session, the Debugger initializes and runs in either application or stand-alone mode. Debugger initialization creates the Debugger window, reads and processes initialization files, enables procedure and breakpoint monitoring, and allows the DEBUGGER handle to interact with the Debugger from the 4GL. When and how the Debugger gets control depends on the mode used to run it. For more information about these modes see "Debugging Modes" in this chapter.
