<div><p>You can use the Work with Breakpoints display to set or remove
breakpoints.</p>
<div class="section"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The relational operators supported for conditional breakpoints
are <, >, =, <=, >=, and <> (not equal).</div>
<p>The Work
with Module Breakpoints display can be accessed from the Display Module Source
display by pressing F13 (Work with Module Breakpoints). The Work with Module
Breakpoints display is shown in the figure below. To set a conditional breakpoint,
type the following and press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>:</p>
<ul><li>1 (Add) in the <em>Opt</em> field,</li>
<li>the debugger line number where you want to set the breakpoint in the <em>Line</em> field,</li>
<li>a conditional expression in the <em>Condition</em> field,</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, to set a conditional breakpoint at debugger line 35,
as shown in the figure below, type the following and press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>:</p>
<ul><li>1 (Add) in the <em>Opt</em> field,</li>
<li>35 in the <em>Line</em> field,</li>
<li>type &I=21 in the <em>Condition</em> field,</li>
</ul>
<p>To remove a conditional breakpoint, type 4 (Clear) in the <em>Opt</em> field
next to the breakpoint you want to remove, and press <span class="uicontrol">Enter</span>.
You can also remove unconditional breakpoints in this manner.</p>

<div class="section"><p>Repeat the previous steps for each conditional breakpoint you
want to set or remove. </p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If the line on which you want to set a breakpoint
is not a runnable statement, the breakpoint is set at the next runnable statement.</div>
<p>After
you specify all breakpoints that you want to set or remove, press F3 (Exit)
to return to the Display Module Source display.</p>
<p>Then press F3 (Exit)
to leave the Display Module Source display. You can also use F21 (Command
Line) from the Display Module Source display to call the program object from
a command line.</p>
<p>Call the program object. When a statement with a conditional
breakpoint is reached, the conditional expression associated with the breakpoint
is evaluated before the statement is run. If the result is false, the program
object continues to run. If the result is true, the program object stops,
and the Display Module Source display is shown. At this point, you can evaluate
variables, set more breakpoints, and run any of the debug commands.</p>
