Procedure Files and Listing Generation
You can debug procedure files in both source (
.p,.w
) and r-code (.r
) form. You can set breakpoints for procedure files, whether or not they exist, and whether or not they are currently reachable from any application that you run.NOTE: Procedure filenames for source code can have any or no extension. The listed extensions (.p
,.w
) represent common Progress conventions on many systems. However, r-code files must have the identifying extension established for your operating system, usually.r
. Progress automatically generates r-code files with the correct extension during compilation.Progress makes every attempt to provide the debug listing for the procedure that you are debugging. If necessary, Progress generates the debug listing automatically (“on the fly”). Any automatic listing generation creates a temporary file that is deleted at the end of your session. For more information on temporary debug listings, see the "Debug Listing (.dbg) Files" section.
The method Progress uses to provide a debug listing depends on the form of the procedure that Progress has available to execute: the r-code or the source code.
