6.7.3 The DB Command
The DB command was designed for use with the Elmo Studio IDE. Therefore, users of
the Elmo Studio require no further knowledge of its functionality. The information in
this section is provided for advanced programmers and may be changed without
further notice.
This command assists in analyzing the user program, enabling the user to:
ƒ
Set and remove breakpoints.
ƒ Get information about existing VAC machines.
ƒ Get the running status of the program.
ƒ Get the error status of a VAC machine.
ƒ Ask for or change values of local variables.
ƒ Get the program call stack.
The DB command should be used by IDE managers. The syntax of the command is strict:
Spaces and white characters are not allowed, in order to simplify the treatment of the
command. All values must be numbers; expressions are illegal.
