go

Start/Resume Program Execution under the Debugger

ABBREVIATION

g{o}

go

DESCRIPTION

The go command starts (or resumes) execution of a program under the SAS/C Debugger. The program executes until the first breakpoint or action that is requested is reached or until an incomplete step or continue completes. Then, the go command can be reissued to resume execution.

Note: If you do issue go as the first command, the debugger regains control if one of the signals trapped by the debugger is raised or if attention/IC is used. See resume for a list of these signals. [cautionend]

You can use the go command to debug a program that fails. For example, suppose that your program fails with an 0C4. To run the program, issue a go command. When the 0C4 signal occurs and the debugger regains control, you can look at variables.
