DEBUGGER_FETCH Function

Description

This function provides methods for accessing variable data within a Debugger Intercept routine.

Syntax

variableData = Debugger_Fetch( method, [arg1, arg2] )

Parameters

The function has the following parameters:

ParameterDescription
methodThe Debugger_Fetch function accepts various methods to access variables and their contents when OpenInsight has a Debugger Intercept routine in use.

Note: The Debugger Intercept is set in the Environment Settings. To access the Environment Settings, select Environemnt Setting menu option from the Database menu in the Database Manager. In the Debugger Settings group, Intercept should be selected in the radio options and a stored procedure should be selected as an Intercept Routine. The Intercept Routine defines which stored procedure should execute when an unhandled error condition is encountered.
arg1Dependent upon the method.
arg2Dependent upon the method.
arg3Dependent upon the method.

Returns

An @fm-delimited list of data. The data returned is dependent upon the method.

Remarks

The Methods and their return values are only accessible when in Debugger Intercept mode.

DEBUGGER_DUMP is a SYSPROG subroutine containing sample code for using the Debugger_Fetch() routine. The source code is published below.

Method/Argument/Return Value Chart

Methodarg1arg2arg3Return ValueNote
LISTLOCALn/an/an/aAn @fm-delimited list of @vm-delimited variable names and types and subcripts.If the variable is a dimensioned array, the subscripts are returned as an @svm-delimited array.
LISTLABELLEDn/an/an/aAn @fm-delimited list of @vm-delimited Labelled Commons, variable names, types and subscripts.If the variable is a dimensioned array, the subscripts are returned as an @svm-delimited array.
LISTCOMMONn/an/an/aAn @fm-delimited list of @vm-delimited Labelled Commons, variable names, types and subscripts.This type is not seen in OpenInsight and is mentioned due to AREV32.
GETLOCALVariable Name or Position[Row Number][Column Number]The value of the variable.If the variable is a Dimensioned Array, Row Number and Column Number will retrieve the data from specific positions within in the array.
GETLABELLEDLabel NameVariable Name or Positionn/aThe value of the variable within the COMMON.
GETCOMMONCommon NameVariable Name or Positionn/aThe value of the variable within the COMMON.
GETLOCALDIMTYPEDimensioned Array NameRow NumberColumn NumberThe type of the variable within the COMMON.

    Purpose  : Simple function to grab all the variable contents in a broken
    proc and write them out to a "DEBUGGER_DUMP" record in SYSLISTS
    Comments
    ========
    This is a very basic procedure. It would really be a good idea to monitor
    the size of the dump output and break it up into sections and write it out
    as an OS file for example.  The output has the potential to be extremely
    large due to the possibility of large variable contents and iterating
    through dimensioned arrays with large values.
    
    ... but that is another story ...
