Pressing Ctrl/Y at DCL level enables you to interrupt an image that is running without debugger control, so that you can then start the debugger with the DCL command DEBUG. You can bring an image under debugger control only if, as a minimum, that image was linked with the /TRACEBACK qualifier (/TRACEBACK is the default for the LINK command). When you press Ctrl/Y to interrupt the image's execution, control is passed to DCL. If you then enter the DCL command DEBUG, the interrupted image is brought under control of the debugger. The debugger sets its language-dependent parameters to the source language of the module in which execution was interrupted and displays its prompt. You can then determine where execution was suspended by entering a SHOW CALLS command. The Ctrl/Y-DEBUG sequence is not supported in the kept debugger configuration. The Ctrl/Y-DEBUG sequence is not supported in the VSI DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS user interface to the debugger. Instead, use the STOP button. Within a debugging session, you can use the CONNECT command to connect an image that is running without debugger control in another process (of the same job) to that debugging session.
