<h1 class="topictitle1">Debug at the machine interface level</h1>
<div><p>You can debug your programs at the machine interface (MI) level.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>To debug your programs at the machine interface (MI) level, you
can specify an MI object definition vector (ODV) number for the PGMVAR parameter
of a command and MI instruction numbers for the STMT parameter of a command.
For a breakpoint, the system stops at the MI instruction number just as it
would at an HLL statement number. You must always precede the ODV or MI instruction
number with a slash (/) and enclose it in apostrophes (for example, <samp class="codeph">'/1A'</samp>)
to signal to the system that you are debugging at the MI level.</p>
<div class="p">The
ODV and MI instruction numbers can be obtained from the IRP listing produced
by most high-level language compilers. Use the *LIST value of the GENOPT
parameter to produce the IRP listing at program creation time. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> When
you debug at the machine interface level, only the characteristics that are
defined at the machine interface level are available; the HLL characteristics
that are normally passed to the test environment are not available. These
HLL characteristics may include: the variable type, number of fractional digits,
length, and array information. For example, a numeric variable in your HLL
program may be displayed without the correct decimal alignment or possibly
as a character string.</div>
