1 – BREAK
Deactivates a breakpoint, which you can later activate. Format DEACTIVATE BREAK [address-expression[, . . . ]]
1.1 – Parameters
address-expression Specifies a breakpoint to be deactivated. Do not use the asterisk (*) wildcard character. Instead, use the /ALL qualifier. Do not specify an address expression when using any qualifiers except /EVENT, /PREDEFINED, or /USER.
1.2 – Qualifiers
1.2.1 /ACTIVATING
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/ACTIVATING command.
1.2.2 /ALL
By default, deactivates all user-defined breakpoints. When used with /PREDEFINED, deactivates all predefined breakpoints but no user-defined breakpoints. To deactivate all breakpoints, use /ALL/USER/PREDEFINED.
1.2.3 /BRANCH
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/BRANCH command.
1.2.4 /CALL
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/CALL command.
1.2.5 /EVENT
/EVENT=event-name Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/EVENT=event-name command. Specify the event name (and address expression, if any) exactly as specified with the SET BREAK/EVENT command. To identify the current event facility and the associated event names, use the SHOW EVENT_FACILITY command.
1.2.6 /EXCEPTION
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/EXCEPTION command.
1.2.7 /HANDLER
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/HANDLER command.
1.2.8 /INSTRUCTION
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/INSTRUCTION command.
1.2.9 /LINE
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/LINE command.
1.2.10 /PREDEFINED
Deactivates a specified predefined breakpoint without affecting any user-defined breakpoints. When used with /ALL, deactivates all predefined breakpoints.
1.2.11 /SYSEMULATE
(Alpha only) Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/SYSEMULATE command.
1.2.12 /TERMINATING
Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/TERMINATING command.
1.2.13 /UNALIGNED_DATA
(Alpha only) Deactivates a breakpoint established by a previous SET BREAK/UNALIGNED_DATA command.
1.2.14 /USER
Deactivates a specified user-defined breakpoint. To deactivate all user-defined breakpoints, use the /ALL qualifier.
1.3 – Description
User-defined breakpoints are activated when you set them with the SET BREAK command. Predefined breakpoints are activated by default. Use the DEACTIVATE BREAK command to deactivate one or more breakpoints. If you deactivate a breakpoint, the debugger ignores the breakpoint during program execution. To activate a deactivated breakpoint, use the ACTIVATE BREAK command. You can activate and deactivate user-defined and predefined breakpoints separately. Activating and deactivating breakpoints enables you to run and rerun your program with or without breakpoints without having to cancel and then reset them. By default, the RERUN command saves the current state of all breakpoints (activated or deactivated). To check if a breakpoint is deactivated, use the SHOW BREAK command. Related commands: CANCEL ALL RERUN (SET,SHOW,CANCEL,ACTIVATE) BREAK (SET,SHOW) EVENT_FACILITY
1.4 – Examples
1.DBG> DEACTIVATE BREAK MAIN\LOOP+10 This command deactivates the user-defined breakpoint set at the address expression MAIN\LOOP+10. 2.DBG> DEACTIVATE BREAK/ALL This command deactivates all user-defined breakpoints.
2 – TRACE
Deactivates a tracepoint, which you can later activate. Format DEACTIVATE TRACE [address-expression[, . . . ]]
2.1 – Parameters
address-expression Specifies a tracepoint to be deactivated. Do not use the asterisk (*) wildcard character. Instead, use the /ALL qualifier. Do not specify an address expression when using any qualifiers except /EVENT, /PREDEFINED, or /USER.
2.2 – Qualifiers
2.2.1 /ACTIVATING
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/ACTIVATING command.
2.2.2 /ALL
By default, deactivates all user-defined tracepoints. When used with /PREDEFINED, it deactivates all predefined tracepoints but no user-defined tracepoints. To deactivate all tracepoints, use /ALL/USER/PREDEFINED.
2.2.3 /BRANCH
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/BRANCH command.
2.2.4 /CALL
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/CALL command.
2.2.5 /EVENT
/EVENT=event-name Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/EVENT=event-name command. Specify the event name (and address expression, if any) exactly as specified with the SET TRACE/EVENT command. To identify the current event facility and the associated event names, use the SHOW EVENT_FACILITY command.
2.2.6 /EXCEPTION
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/EXCEPTION command.
2.2.7 /INSTRUCTION
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/INSTRUCTION command.
2.2.8 /LINE
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/LINE command.
2.2.9 /PREDEFINED
Deactivates a specified predefined tracepoint without affecting any user-defined tracepoints. When used with /ALL, it deactivates all predefined tracepoints.
2.2.10 /TERMINATING
Deactivates a tracepoint established with a previous SET TRACE/TERMINATING command.
2.2.11 /USER
Deactivates a specified user-defined tracepoint without affecting any predefined tracepoints. When used with /ALL, it deactivates all user-defined tracepoints. The /USER qualifier is the default unless you specify /PREDEFINED.
2.3 – Description
User-defined tracepoints are activated when you set them with the SET TRACE command. Predefined tracepoints are activated by default. Use the DEACTIVATE TRACE command to deactivate one or more tracepoints. If you deactivate a tracepoint, the debugger ignores the tracepoint during program execution. To activate a deactivated tracepoint, use the ACTIVATE TRACE command. You can activate and deactivate user-defined and predefined tracepoints separately. Activating and deactivating tracepoints enables you to run and rerun your program with or without tracepoints without having to cancel and then reset them. By default, the RERUN command saves the current state of all tracepoints (activated or deactivated). To check if a tracepoint is deactivated, use the SHOW TRACE command. Related commands: CANCEL ALL RERUN (SET,SHOW) EVENT_FACILITY (SET,SHOW,CANCEL,ACTIVATE) TRACE
2.4 – Examples
1.DBG> DEACTIVATE TRACE MAIN\LOOP+10 This command deactivates the user-defined tracepoint at the location MAIN\LOOP+10. 2.DBG> DEACTIVATE TRACE/ALL This command deactivates all user-defined tracepoints.
3 – WATCH
Deactivates a watchpoint, which you can later activate. Format DEACTIVATE WATCH [address-expression[, . . . ]]
3.1 – Parameters
address-expression Specifies a watchpoint to be deactivated. With high-level languages, this is typically the name of a variable. Do not use the asterisk (*) wildcard character. Instead, use the /ALL qualifier. Do not specify an address expression with /ALL.
3.2 – Qualifiers
3.2.1 /ALL
Deactivates all watchpoints.
3.3 – Description
Watchpoints are activated when you set them with the SET WATCH command. Use the DEACTIVATE WATCH command to deactivate one or more watchpoints. If you deactivate a watchpoint, the debugger ignores the watchpoint during program execution. To activate a deactivated watchpoint, use the ACTIVATE WATCH command. Activating and deactivating watchpoints enables you to run and rerun your program with or without watchpoints without having to cancel and then reset them. By default, the RERUN command saves the current state of all static watchpoints (activated or deactivated). The state of a particular nonstatic watchpoint might or might not be saved depending on the scope of the variable being watched relative to the main program unit (where execution restarts). To check if a watchpoint is deactivated, use the SHOW WATCH command. Related commands: CANCEL ALL RERUN (SET,SHOW,CANCEL,ACTIVATE) WATCH
3.4 – Examples
1.DBG> DEACTIVATE WATCH SUB2\TOTAL This command deactivates the watchpoint at variable TOTAL in module SUB2. 2.DBG> DEACTIVATE WATCH/ALL This command deactivates all watchpoints you have set.
