HELP DEBUG — VMS 5.5-2H4
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.
To get help on debugger commands from DCL level, type the following
command:
$ HELP/LIBRARY=SYS$HELP:DBG$HELP
Format
DEBUG

%DEBUG-I-INITIAL, language is FORTRAN, module set to WIDGET
DBG>
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 command begins execution of the image WIDGET.EXE, which loops
uncontrollably. Ctrl/Y interrupts the program, and the DEBUG command
gives control to the debugger.
