The following list describes the rules applying to CodeWatch support for Open PL/I include files. This support applies to include files that contain executable code. The rules are as follows:
- Stepping into an include file, for example, when the next statement is a %INCLUDE directive, will cause the screen display to switch to the specified include file.
- Commands that deal with the source file, such as PRINT and POINT, work as expected when using the current include file.
- Stepping through an include file is allowed.
- Setting breakpoints within an include file is NOT allowed. The setting of a breakpoint unambiguously refers to the original containing source file.
- Stepping over an include file, for example, when the next statement is a %INCLUDE directive, is not explicitly allowed. This may may be accomplished by setting a breakpoint in the containing source file followed by the CONTINUE command.
- Stepping out of an include file before its last statement is accomplished similarly to stepping over, that is, by setting a breakpoint in the containing source file followed by the CONTINUE command.
