Figure 3–12: Edit Breakpoint dialog box

Access this dialog by choosing the Edit button on the Breakpoints dialog box. For more information, see the "Breakpoints dialog box" section.

The Edit Breakpoint dialog box contains the following tabs:

At Line — Sets a breakpoint at a specific line in a named procedure. You can make this type of breakpoint conditional; that is, it interrupts program execution only if a defined condition is satisfied. For more information, see the "New Breakpoint dialog box" section.
On Error — Sets a breakpoint to interrupt program execution if an error occurs. The error condition can be general or specific. For more information, see the "New Breakpoint dialog box" section.
Watchpoint — Sets a watchpoint to interrupt program execution when the value of a variable, buffer field, or attribute reference changes. For more information, see the "New Breakpoint dialog box" section.

To edit a breakpoint:

In the Breakpoints dialog box, select the breakpoint you want to edit. Choose the Edit button.

The breakpoint information appears in the tab of the Edit Breakpoint dialog box appropriate to the style of breakpoint selected. The other tabs are disabled. For example, if you select an error breakpoint, it populates the On Error tab. The At Line tab and the Watchpoint tab are unavailable.

Make your edits. For example, you might want to add a condition to a procedure line breakpoint
Choose the OK button.

To edit a watchpoint:

In the Breakpoints dialog box, select the watchpoint you want to edit. Choose the Edit button.
Note: The Add Watch toggle box is unchecked by default when modifying a watchpoint.
Modify the watchpoint expression and/or condition.
Choose the OK button to save your changes.
Note: A watchpoint remains until you explicitly delete it.
