Using the Debugging Library Routines

There are a number of library routines that you can insert into your code that attach to the Character Animator when executed:

• CBL_DEBUGBREAK - this is a run-time library routine that enables you to attach Character Animator at any point during COBOL code execution. If you have this routine in your program, then Character Animator starts debugging your program at the line that calls this routine.
• CBL_DEBUG_START and CBL_DEBUG_STOP are run-time library routines. They enable you to attach and detach Character Animator at various points during COBOL code execution. They are intended for use in remote and cross-session debugging, but they can also be used to control local animation.

For details on using these routines, see Debugging Routines.
