Causes the debugger to scan the call stack and attempt to set a breakpoint on every established frame-based handler whenever the program being debugged has an exception. The debugger does not discriminate between standard RTL handlers and user-established handlers. On Alpha and Integrity servers, most RTLs establish a jacket RTL handler on a frame where the user program has defined a handler. The RTL jacket performs setup, argument manipulation, and dispatch to the user written handlers. When processing the exception, the debugger can only set the breakpoint on the RTL jacket handler, because that is the address on the call stack. If the debugger suspends program execution in a jacket RTL handler, you can usually reach the user-defined handler by finding the dispatch point(s) via some number of STEP/CALLs followed by a STEP/INTO. See the OpenVMS Calling Standard for more information on frame- based handlers. If the jacket RTL handler is part of an installed shared image such as ALPHA LIBOTS, the debugger cannot set a breakpoint on it (no private user mode write access). In this case, activate ALL RTLs as private images via logical names. For example: $DEFINE LIBOTS SYS$SHARE:LIBOTS.EXE; Note that the trailing semicolon (;) is required. Note also that all (or none) of your shared installed RTLs should be activated privately. Use SHOW IMAGE/FULL data to realize the list of images with system space code sections and then define logicals for all of them and rerun your debug session.
