/sys$common/syshlp/DBG$HELP.HLB  —  DEBUG  DEPOSIT  Parameters
 address-expression

    Specifies the location into which the value of the language
    expression is to be deposited. With high-level languages, this
    is typically the name of a variable and can include a path name
    to specify the variable uniquely. More generally, an address
    expression can also be a memory address or a register and can
    be composed of numbers (offsets) and symbols, as well as one or
    more operators, operands, or delimiters. For information about
    the debugger symbols for the registers and about the operators
    you can use in address expressions, see the Built_in_Symbols and
    Address_Expressions help topics.

    You cannot specify an entire aggregate variable (a composite data
    structure such as an array or a record). To specify an individual
    array element or a record component, follow the syntax of the
    current language.

 language-expression

    Specifies the value to be deposited. You can specify any language
    expression that is valid in the current language. For most
    languages, the expression can include the names of simple
    (noncomposite, single-valued) variables but not the names
    of aggregate variables (such as arrays or records). If the
    expression contains symbols with different compiler-generated
    types, the debugger uses the rules of the current language to
    evaluate the expression.

    If the expression is an ASCII string or an assembly-language
    instruction, you must enclose it in quotation marks (")  or
    apostrophes ('). If the string contains quotation marks or
    apostrophes, use the other delimiter to enclose the string.

    If the string has more characters (1-byte ASCII) than can fit
    into the program location denoted by the address expression,
    the debugger truncates the extra characters from the right. If
    the string has fewer characters, the debugger pads the remaining
    characters to the right of the string by inserting ASCII space
    characters.
