Changes the debugger prompt string to your personal preference. Format SET PROMPT [prompt-parameter]
1 – Parameters
prompt-parameter Specifies the new prompt string. If the string contains spaces, semicolons (;), or lowercase characters, you must enclose it in quotation marks (") or apostrophes ('). If you do not specify a string, the current prompt string remains unchanged. By default, the prompt string is DBG> when debugging a single process program. By default, when debuggging a multiprocess program, the prompt string is the name of the current process set followed by a right angle bracket (>). You should not use the SET PROMPT command when debugging multiprocess programs.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /POP
/POP /NOPOP (default) (Applies only to workstations running VWS.) The /POP qualifier causes the debugger window to pop over other windows and become attached to the keyboard when the debugger prompts for input. The /NOPOP qualifier disables this behavior (the debugger window is not popped over other windows and is not attached to the keyboard automatically when the debugger prompts for input).
3 – Description
The SET PROMPT command enables you to tailor the debugger prompt string to your individual preference. If you are debugging a multiprocess program, you should not use the SET PROMPT command. If you are using the debugger at a workstation, /[NO]POP enables you to control whether the debugger window is popped over other windows whenever the debugger prompts for input.

4 – Examples
1.DBG> SET PROMPT "$ " $ SET PROMPT "d b g : " d b g : SET PROMPT "DBG> " DBG> In this example, the successive SET PROMPT commands change the debugger prompt from "DBG>" to "$", to "d b g :", then back to "DBG>".
