HELP DEBUG — VMS 5.4
Invokes the VMS Debugger after program execution is interrupted by
CTRL/Y, but only if the /NOTRACEBACK qualifier was not specified
with the LINK command when the program was linked. For a complete
description of the VMS Debugger, including more information about
the DEBUG command, see the VMS Debugger Manual.

The FORTRAN and LINK commands both specify the /DEBUG qualifier to
compile the program WIDGET.FOR with debugger symbol table
information and to include the debugger in the image file. The
RUN/NODEBUG command begins normal execution of the image
WIDGET.EXE, without debugger control. The image executes an
infinite loop. Pressing Ctrl/Y interrupts execution. The DEBUG
command gives control to the debugger, and you can now enter
debugger commands at the DBG> prompt.
