PROIV Application Debugging

The PROIV System Debugger is a PROIV bootstrap function called @DEBUG. It is designed to debug application problems, not problems with the PROIV Virtual Machine itself. The System Debugger was designed before PROIV supported GUI screen functionality, so it is not as easy to use in GUI mode as it could be.

Documentation: See the PROIV System Debugger User’s Guide V5.5 document on the PROIV website for additional information.

To enable the System Debugger, set the Environment option (in the pro4v[n].ini [Environment] section, or the system environment):

PRODEBUG = A

When you gen a function with the above debug option enabled, the kernel writes extra symbol table information to the GENFILE. Therefore, you must always re-gen the functions you want to debug after enabling the option. The function source also has to be available when the debugger is running.
