dblog

Called from a CLIST or EXEC to Output Information

ABBREVIATION

dblog [STRING]

DESCRIPTION

The dblog command can be called from a CLIST or EXEC to output information to the debugger. STRING is a string of characters that is not surrounded by quotation marks. If dblog is used in your CLIST or EXEC, it outputs the string of characters specified by the STRING argument. If used without the STRING argument, the output is a blank line. In line mode, output is sent to the session log displayed on the terminal; in full-screen mode, it is sent to the Log window. If sent to the Log window, it is displayed in the color specified for debugger commands (controlled by the Config window).

The dblog command cannot be followed by another debugger command on the same line. That is, the arguments to the dblog command are assumed to extend to the end of the line, including any semicolons on the line.
