/sys$common/syshlp/DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  MONITOR  Qualifiers

1    /ASCIC

       /ASCIC
       /AC

    Interprets each monitored entity as a counted ASCII string
    preceded by a 1-byte count field that gives the length of the
    string. The string is then displayed.

2    /ASCID

       /ASCID
       /AD

    Interprets each monitored entity as the address of a string
    descriptor pointing to an ASCII string. The CLASS and DTYPE
    fields of the descriptor are not checked, but the LENGTH and
    POINTER fields provide the character length and address of the
    ASCII string. The string is then displayed.

3    /ASCII

       /ASCII:n

    Interprets and displays each monitored entity as an ASCII string
    of length n bytes (n characters). If you omit n, the debugger
    attempts to determine a length from the type of the address
    expression.

4    /ASCIW

       /ASCIW
       /AW

    Interprets each monitored entity as a counted ASCII string
    preceded by a 2-byte count field that gives the length of the
    string. The string is then displayed.

5    /ASCIZ

       /ASCIZ
       /AZ

    Interprets each monitored entity as a zero-terminated ASCII
    string. The ending zero byte indicates the end of the string.
    The string is then displayed.

6    /BINARY

    Displays each monitored entity as a binary integer.

7    /BYTE

    Displays each monitored entity in the byte integer type (length 1
    byte).

8    /DATE_TIME

    Interprets each monitored entity as a quadword integer (length 8
    bytes) containing the internal OpenVMS representation of date and
    time. Displays the value in the format dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss.cc.

9    /DECIMAL

    Displays each monitored entity as a decimal integer.

10    /DEFAULT

    Displays each monitored entity in the default radix.

11    /EXTENDED_FLOAT

    (Alpha and Integrity servers only) Displays each monitored entity
    in the IEEE X_floating type (length 16 bytes).

12    /FLOAT

    On VAX processors, displays each monitored entity in the F_
    floating type (length 4 bytes).

    On Alpha processors, displays each monitored entity in the IEEE
    T_floating type (double precision, length 8 bytes).

13    /G_FLOAT

    Displays each monitored entity in the G_floating type (length 8
    bytes).

14    /HEXADECIMAL

    Displays each monitored entity as a hexadecimal integer.

15    /INSTRUCTION

    Displays each monitored entity as an assembly-language
    instruction (variable length, depending on the number of
    instruction operands and the kind of addressing modes used).
    See also the /OPERANDS qualifier.

16    /INT

    Same as /LONGWORD qualifier.

17    /LONG_FLOAT

    (Alpha and Integrity servers only) Displays each monitored entity
    in the IEEE S_floating type (single precision, length 4 bytes).

18    /LONG_LONG_FLOAT

    (Alpha and Integrity servers only) Displays each monitored entity
    in the IEEE T_floating type (double precision, length 8 bytes).

19    /LONGWORD

       /LONGWORD
       /INT
       /LONG

    Displays each monitored entity in the longword integer type
    (length 4 bytes). This is the default type for program locations
    that do not have a compiler-generated type.

20    /OCTAL

    Displays each monitored entity as an octal integer.

21    /OCTAWORD

    Displays each monitored entity in the octaword integer type
    (length 16 bytes).

22    /QUADWORD

    Displays each monitored entity in the quadword integer type
    (length 8 bytes).

23    /REMOVE

    Removes a monitored item or items with the address expression
    specified from the Monitor View.

24    /SHORT

    Same as /WORD qualfier.

25    /TASK

    Applies to tasking (multithread) programs. Interprets each
    monitored entity as a task (thread) object and displays the task
    value (the name or task ID) of that task object. When monitoring
    a task object, use /TASK only if the programming language does
    not have built-in tasking services.

26    /WORD

       /WORD
       /SHORT

    Displays each monitored entity in the word integer type (length 2
    bytes).
