Listing Creation

You can generate a debug listing in one of two ways:

Automatic Listing Generation

Automatic listing generation is appropriate for most debugging situations where you are working with new source procedures that you have not yet compiled. Automatic generation creates temporary listing files that Progress removes when you end your session and exit to the operating system. These temporary listing files have eight-character alphanumeric names with a dbg extension. Progress stores temporary debug listing files in either your current working directory or the directory specified by the Temporary Directory (-T) startup parameter. For more information on how and when Progress automatically generates debug listings, see the "Procedure Files and Listing Generation" section.

Manual Listing Generation

Manual listing generation can save significant time in a debugging session, especially when debugging very large procedures. For more information on how to generate debug listings with the COMPILE statement, see the Progress Language Reference, and for information on the Application Compiler, see the Progress Basic Development Tools manual.
