DEBUGGER and SESSION System Handles

The DEBUGGER system handle has attributes and methods that allow you to start and control a debugging session from the 4GL. It is primarily intended for experienced Progress programmers who write their own Progress development tools and want to initialize and control Debugger interaction from these tools. For example, the Progress Application Development Environment (ADE) uses the DEBUGGER handle to invoke and manage the Debugger from ADE tools such as the Procedure Editor and ADE Desktop. The DEBUGGER handle can also aid in tracing program flow through the complex code paths typical of event-driven applications.

The SESSION system handle has an attribute that allows you to specify whether you want an alert box to include a Help button that provides access to a Stack Trace dialog box.
