DEBUG( ) Method

Starts the Debugger in stand-alone mode. It initializes the Debugger and immediately transfers control to the Debugger while blocking the invoking procedure.

Return Type: LOGICAL

Applies To: DEBUGGER System Handle

SYNTAX
DEBUG ( ) 

This method has the same effect as starting Progress with the Debugger (-debug) parameter, except that instead of from the OS, it runs the Debugger from the invoking procedure. The invoking procedure then waits to continue execution until the Debugger exits. Although the Debugger has no control over the invoking procedure, it can control any other procedure started using the Debugger RUN command.

NOTE: To use this method, you must have the Progress Application Debugger installed in your Progress environment.

If the Debugger starts successfully, this method returns TRUE after the Debugger exits. Otherwise, it returns FALSE with no effect. For more information, see the reference entry for the DEBUGGER System Handle.
