OpenEdge Debugger : Starting and Stopping the Debugger : Debugging from the OpenEdge command line
 

Debugging from the OpenEdge command line

Starting the Debugger from the command line using the Debugger startup parameter (-debug) runs the Debugger in stand-alone mode.
*To start a debugging session from the OpenEdge command line:
Run the client session with the Debugger (-debug) startup parameter, as in the following example:
pro sports -debug
The Debugger is the entry point for all application procedures you want to run. The Debugger starts and allows you to open a procedure and set breakpoints in the procedure before running it, using Debug > Run.
*To start a single-user debugging session from the OpenEdge command line and start debugging the arrmenu.p procedure:
pro sports -p arrmenu.p -debug
This command runs the Debugger in stand-alone mode, ready to execute and debug arrmenu.p (or any other procedures you choose). An automatic breakpoint is set on the first executable line of arrmenu.p.
