Sprezzatura FAQ Pages

The debugger is a tool provided for AREV developers that enables them to stop program execution to examine what is going on in the program. Sometimes though problems occur when the program is running and the problem cannot be resolved by the program. When this happens the program "drops to the debugger".

What this means is that the debugger is invoked and an error message is displayed. It is this error message which will be of most use in finding out what has gone wrong. The error message is generally contained in the lines ABOVE the current ! mark.

Please look at these lines now.

Does the error message refer to being "Out of String Space"?

Does the error message refer to non-numeric data where numeric required?

Does the error message refer to Variable not assigned a value, zero used?

Does the screen say "Line n broke because the break key was hit"?

Jargon busters!
