The SET MODULE command loads the symbol records of a module in the current image into the run-time symbol table (RST) of that image. Symbol records must be present in the RST if the debugger is to recognize and properly interpret the symbols declared in your program. The process by which the symbol records of a module are loaded into the RST is called setting a module. This command also supports user-provided mixed-case and lowercase module names on Integrity and Alpha servers. At debugger startup, the debugger sets the module containing the transfer address (the main program). By default, dynamic mode is enabled (SET MODE DYNAMIC). Therefore, the debugger sets modules (and images) automatically as the program executes so that you can reference symbols as you need them. Specifically, whenever execution is suspended, the debugger sets the module and image containing the routine in which execution is suspended. In the case of Ada programs, as a module is set dynamically, its related modules are also set automatically, by default, to make the appropriate symbols accessible (visible). Dynamic mode makes accessible most of the symbols you might need to reference. If you need to reference a symbol in a module that is not already set, proceed as follows: o If the module is in the current image, use the SET MODULE command to set the module where the symbol is defined or reference the symbol with a fully-qualified path name. For example: DBG>SET BREAK X\Y o If the module is in another image, use the SET IMAGE command to make that image the current image, then use the SET MODULE command to set the module where the symbol is defined. If dynamic mode is disabled (SET MODE NODYNAMIC), only the module containing the transfer address is set automatically. You must set any other modules explicitly. If you use the SET IMAGE command to establish a new current image, all modules previously set remain set. However, only the symbols in the set modules of the current image are accessible. Symbols in the set modules of other images are temporarily inaccessible. When dynamic mode is enabled, memory is allocated automatically to accommodate the increasing size of the RST. If dynamic mode is disabled, the debugger automatically allocates more memory as needed when you set a module or an image. If a parameter in a SET SCOPE command designates a program location in a module that is not already set, the SET SCOPE command sets that module.
