6.1 Start Debugging
You can start the debug of a compiled LANSA program using one of the following:
- The Debug command in the ribbon:
...
- The debug and start option from a context menu in the Repository Tab or the Favorites Tab
- The debug parameter when specifying the Additional Execution Parameters
When the object to be debugged is executed, it is opened in the editor. If no breakpoints are set, the debug session immediately stops at the first executable line so you can set breakpoints or start stepping through the code.
By default, lines with enabled breakpoints are shown in red and the active debug line is shown in yellow.
Disabled breakpoints are shown in gray.
