Debugging Macros

To invoke the debugger you can :

•	Set the Debug Macros option of the Execution Options dialog to true, when launching diary generation.

•	Or if you are testing the same Macro over and over, set the Pre-Processing's ScriptLine property Debug Macros to true. This will invoke the debugger automatically everytime you generate this particular Script.

The Q++ Macros debugger lets you follow the execution of your Macro code, step-by-step for each Macro token encountered during diary generation.

The debugger window is made up of the following :

•	A main pane allowing you to follow the progress of the interpreter as it moves through the code. You can to view the source code and the compiled code.

•	The list of variable watches which display the updated value of all variables (including system and temporary).

•	A list of breakpoints, allowing you to execute code uninterrupted, until a condition or line number is reached.

•	A series of buttons which allow you to control the level of detail at which you wish to step through the code.

Note that the debugger window is resizeable.
