Using program breakpoints in native COBOL

Restriction: Program breakpoints are supported in native COBOL only, and are not supported in nested programs.

You can add program breakpoints in the source code in one of the following way:

Right-click in the code in the editor, and click Add COBOL Program Breakpoint.
This adds the program breakpoint to the program and to the list of program points in the Program Breakpoints (Native COBOL) window. This automatically opens the Program Breakpoints (Native COBOL) window, if it is not displayed.

Alternatively:

Open the Program Breakpoints (Native COBOL) window - click Debug > Windows > Program Breakpoints (Native COBOL).
Click New in the window.
Type the name of the source file, without the extension, and press Enter. For multi-program source files, to set a break for a sub-program, use its program-id.
The program breakpoint is set.

To disable a program breakpoint:

In the Program Breakpoints (Native COBOL) window, disable the checkbox in front of the program breakpoint you want to disable.

To delete a program breakpoint:

In the Program Breakpoints (Native COBOL) window, select the required breakpoint and click , or to delete all current program breakpoints, click .
