Changes the debugger prompt string to your personal preference.
Format
SET PROMPT [prompt-parameter]
1 – Parameters
prompt-parameter
Specifies the new prompt string. If the string contains spaces,
semicolons (;), or lowercase characters, you must enclose it in
quotation marks (") or apostrophes ('). If you do not specify a
string, the current prompt string remains unchanged.
By default, the prompt string is DBG> when debugging a single
process program.
By default, when debuggging a multiprocess program, the prompt
string is the name of the current process set followed by a right
angle bracket (>). You should not use the SET PROMPT command when
debugging multiprocess programs.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /POP
/POP
/NOPOP (default)
(Applies only to workstations running VWS.) The /POP qualifier
causes the debugger window to pop over other windows and become
attached to the keyboard when the debugger prompts for input. The
/NOPOP qualifier disables this behavior (the debugger window is
not popped over other windows and is not attached to the keyboard
automatically when the debugger prompts for input).
3 – Description
The SET PROMPT command enables you to tailor the debugger prompt
string to your individual preference.
If you are debugging a multiprocess program, you should not use
the SET PROMPT command.
If you are using the debugger at a workstation, /[NO]POP enables
you to control whether the debugger window is popped over other
windows whenever the debugger prompts for input.

4 – Examples
1.DBG> SET PROMPT "$ "
$ SET PROMPT "d b g : "
d b g : SET PROMPT "DBG> "
DBG>
In this example, the successive SET PROMPT commands change the
debugger prompt from "DBG>" to "$", to "d b g :", then back to
"DBG>".
